I say goodbye to you
Because I love you the most
So much so that I hate to hold you down

I say goodbye to you
Because you shine so bright
That if I keep looking at you I'll go blind

I say goodbye to you
Because you were not meant to be
Settled down and *******
In a cage next to me

So do enjoy your freedom
Bask in your elusive independence
And please do not forget
The one who let you go
