Good-byes

I've had to say good-bye more times than I'd have liked
But everyone can say that
And no matter how many times we do it
even when it's for the greater good
it's still stinks
And though we'll never forget what we've given up
we owe it to ourselves to keep moving forward
What we can't do is live our lives always afraid of the next good-bye
Because chances are they're not going to stop
The trick is to recognize when a good-bye can be a good thing
when it's a chance to start again...
