Daniel puts the kids to bed
They're screaming oh the gods, must be crazy
Well, Jimmy's on the road tonight
She doesn't recognize her country
My father's in the room next door
Crying with his ma at 65
Well, every time I close my eyes
I just see you written in big lights

You know what it says?

Stop making this hurt
And say goodbye like you mean it
Stop trying on this hurt
Just say goodbye like you mean it

My mamma's in the house tonight
Tryna break free of New Jersey
While the kids are on the street
And they're cryin' let me live in my country
But me and ray
We got a dream and a car
We're like free as the night
So how come every time I take a drive
I just see it written on street signs

And you know what it says

Stop making this hurt
And say goodbye like you mean it
Stop trying on this hurt
Just say goodbye like you mean it

But if we take the sadness out of Saturday night
I wonder what we'll be left with anything worth the fight?
I wanna run from the darkness, wanna shout at the light
It's coming over me now
Two, three, four, five
Oh God, we barely survived
Just say goodbye like you mean it

Stop making this hurt
Say goodbye like you mean it
Stop trying on this hurt
Say goodbye like you mean it

Come on baby
Stop making this hurt
