Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
  • Please don't cry one tear for me
  • I'm not afraid
  • Of what I have to say

Echo the hook

  • By the way
  • I made it through the day
  • I watch the world outside
  • By the way
chancetellsometimes
