Of the front door too often
 Watched you slam it in my face
 Well I may have learned the hard way
 I'm not a soft one
 Tonight I'm standin in your place

 Cause you taught me a lot about leavin
 Won't even have to try
 So here's your lesson in heartache and grievin
 And a chance for you to cry
 Cause it's time you learned about goodbye

 I've stood behind you
 And I've laid beside you
 But I won't do that anymore
 Cause I'm tired of bein
 Just here when you want me
 Tonight I'm walkin out that door

 Cause you taught me a lot about leavin
 Won't even have to try
 So here's your lesson in heartache and grievin
 And a chance for you to cry
 Cause it's time you learned about goodbye

 It's time you learned about goodbye
