Sayonara Lyrics by Sheppard

I’m standing at the border of the future and the boy that I once used to be
One hand on a photograph and one foot on a train that’s bound to leave

And it’s a shame (it’s a shame) but what’s done is done
I’ll take the blame (take the blame) so you can be strong
But when you wake (when you wake) I’ll be moving on

If I’m not back this time tomorrow
See you later, sayonara!
It was fun but I’ll be gone when morning comes
We got close, but I’m not staying
Even though my heart is breaking
Sometimes letting go is how you love someone

Sayonara, Sayonara
Well you know you can’t hold on to yesterday
Sayonara, I’ll always love ya
And I promise to remember us this way

Well I still hear the echoes of the laughter that we shared within this empty room
And if the walls could talk, they’d sing of all the memories of you… ain’t that the truth.

And it’s a shame (it’s a shame) that we can’t go back
To yesterday (yesterday) and the life we had
When you wake (when you wake), I’ll be moving on

If I’m not back this time tomorrow
See you later, sayonara!
It was fun but I’ll be gone when morning comes
We got close, but I’m not staying
Even though my heart is breaking
Sometimes letting go is how you love someone

Sayonara, Sayonara
Well you know you can’t hold on to yesterday
Sayonara, I’ll always love ya
And I promise to remember us this way

Goodbye, farewell, adios, sayonara
Goodbye, farewell, adios, sayonara

If I’m not back this time tomorrow
See you later, sayonara!
I was young, but I’ll be gone when morning comes
We got close, but I’m not staying
And even though my heart is breaking
Sometimes letting go is how you love someone
