Bye Bye Bye by Mariah Carey

This is for my peoples
Who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby
Your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye
No, no, no
Mamas, daddys, sisters, brothers
Friends and cousins
This is for my peoples
Who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
Cause we will never say bye

As a child there were them times
I didn't get it
But you kept me in line
I didn't know why
You didn't show up sometimes
On Sunday mornings and I missed you
But I'm glad we talked through
All them grown folk things
Separation brings
You never let me know it
You never let it show
Because you loved me and obviously
There's so much more left to say
If you were with me today
Face to face

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on I wish
I could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by
I assume that you've reached a better place
And still I'd give
The world to see your face
And if I'm here, next to you
Feels like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say 
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye


And you never got the chance to see how good I've done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together


I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
With the teddy bear you gave to me that i held so tight
I thought you were so strong
You'd make it through whatever
It's so hard to accept the fast you're gone forever

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on I wish
I could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by

I assume that you've reached a better place

And still I'd give

The world to see your face

And if I'm here, next to you

Feels like you're gone too soon

Now the hardest thing to do is say 

Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye

This is for my peoples
Who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby
Your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye
No, no, no
Mamas, daddys, sisters, brothers
Friends and cousins
This is for my peoples
Who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
Cause we will never say bye

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on I wish
I could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by

I assume that you've reached a better place

And still I'd give

The world to see your face

And if I'm here, next to you

Feels like you're gone too soon

Now the hardest thing to do is say 

Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
