I'm told that goodbyes are black and white With shades of gray in between But I know there's so much more to it Like different colors on a movie screen You taught me how to say goodbye With just a look in your eye A small and knowing kind of smile A colorful and pretty little lie Blue like the sky Gray like the rain A bittersweet and beautiful kind of pain When it comes to us I know that it's right That goodbyes are blue and gray You were a lesson learned And it's something that I had to earn You are a chapter that has been closed You are a bridge that has been burned We were good But we weren't right And there's no one to blame We gave each other the best that we could And there's no need to say sorry Blue like the sky Gray like the rain A bittersweet and beautiful kind of pain When it comes to us I know that it's right That goodbyes are blue and gray
