[Verse]

Words get tangled on your tongue

And you stumble on your feet

When you miss somebody

And everywhere you think you see them

Walking down the street

When you miss somebody

[Chorus]

When you miss somebody

You tell yourself a hundred thousand times

"Nobody ever lives forever"

So you give it one more try

To wave goodbye

Wave goodbye

[Verse]

Every hurtful thing you ever said

Is ringing in your ears

When you miss somebody

And every thing of beauty that you see

It only brings a tear

When you miss somebody

[Chorus]

Oh, when you miss somebody

You tell yourself that everything will be alright

You try to stand up strong and brave

But all you want to do is lay down and die

[Bridge]

How long I've waited for an answer or a sign

Lonely and weary from this troubled task of trying

To wave goodbye

[Verse]

So now you start to recognize that every single path you see

Leads to a tear in your eye

So wave goodbye

Wave goodbye

Wave goodbye

Wave goodbye
