"How do I say goodbye to what we had? The good times that made us laugh outweigh the bad. I thought we'd get to see forever but forever's gone away, it's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday. I don't know where this road Is going to lead, all I know is where we've been and what we've been through. And if we get to see tomorrow I hope it's worth all the wait; it's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday. And I'll take with me the memories to be my sunshine after the rain, it's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday."
