Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I heard you laughin'
In a crowd outside a restaurant we used to go to
I caught a glimpse that stopped me in my tracks
It took me back
[Verse 2]
You looked happy
With that little girl up on your shoulders, happy
I know where she got those crystal eyes of blue
Time's been sweet to you
[Verse 3]
As bad as it was
As bad as it hurt
I thank God I didn't get what I thought that I deserved
Sometimes life leads you down a different road
When you're holdin' onto someone that you gotta let go
Someday you'll see the reason why
Sometimes, yeah, sometimes
There's good in goodbye
[Verse 4]
I don't regret it
The time we had together, I won't forget it
But we both ended up where we belong
I guess goodbye made us strong
[Verse 5]
And yeah, I'm happy
I've found somebody, too, who makes me happy
And I knew one day I'd see you on the street
And it'd be bittersweet
[Verse 6]
But as bad as it was
As bad as it hurt
I thank God I didn't get what I thought that I deserved
Sometimes life leads you down a different road
When you're holdin' onto someone that you gotta let go
Someday you'll see the reason why
Yeah, sometimes, yeah, sometimes
There's good in goodbye
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 7]
As bad as it was
Yeah, as bad as it hurt
I thank God I didn't get what I thought that I deserved
Sometimes life leads you down a different road
When you're holdin' onto someone that you got to let go
Someday you'll see the reason why
Yeah, someday you'll see the reason why
There's good in goodbye
Yeah, yeah, there's good in goodbye
