Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My eyes are open wide
By the way
I made it through the day
I watch the world outside
By the way
I'm leaving out today
[PreChorus]
I just saw Halley's comet, she waved
Said, "Why you always running in place?
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere"
[Chorus]
Tell my mother
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
[Verse 2]
Please don't cry one tear for me
I'm not afraid
Of what I have to say
This is my one and only voice, so listen close
It's only for today
[PreChorus]
I just saw Halley's comet, she waved
Said, "Why you always running in place?
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere"
[Chorus]
Tell my mother
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
[Bridge]
Here's my chance
This is my chance
[Chorus]
Tell my mother
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
