Lyrics

[Intro] One, two, three, four [Verse 1: RAYE] This is a sad song Though it feels happy It is not happy at all In fact, it makes me so, so sad to sing this song But I'll sing it for you anyway This song is called "Goodbye Henry." And I wrote it 'bout a boy A very lovely boy And his name isn't even Henry But I'm just tryna be respectful We don't talk anymore He could be next-door and I wouldn't even know In another life we could have made it But in this one, well, we let go [Pre-Chorus: RAYE] And I remember last time I seen him It was a devastating day At the railway tavern my local And we had no words to say So I sipped my gin in silencе And I kissed the man goodbye And wе dried each other's tears And I told him, "Henry [Chorus: RAYE] Oh, I wish you only love (Only love) And happiness (Happiness)" When I'm swallowing tears As I'm watching you drive away Through my window I don't want you to go How could I baby? Oh-oh (I miss you so) I do hope you'll try your best (Try) And you'll drink a little less Let's pretend, Henry Maybe one day we could try again Don't forget me (Don't forget me) or regret me (Regret me) I tell him "Goodbye, Henry" I told you this was a sad song [Verse 2: RAYE] I did try to warn you, in case you relate In case your sorry heart is also breaking In case you're driving to work and every bloody left turn you take Just so happens to be down memory lane And it's that pain, the aching kind [Pre-Chorus: RAYE] I had high hopes for me and Henry I really did In another life I'd wear his ring, and we'd have three beautiful children And it hurts to never see him But the world still turns 'round So I squeezed his lovely hand so tight, and I told him [Chorus: RAYE] "Oh, I wish you only love (Only love) And happiness (Happiness)" When I'm swallowing tears As I'm watching you drive away Through my window I don't want you to go How could I, baby? Oh-oh (I miss you so) I do hope you'll try your best And you'll drink a little less And who knows, Henry? Maybe one day we could try again Don't forget me (Don't forget me) or regret me (Regret me) I tell him, "Goodbye, Henry" I told you this was a sad song [Interlude: RAYE] But it is my pleasure To say that all the way from Memphis, Tennessee Put your hands together (Put your hands) Ladies and gentlemen For Al Green [Bridge: Al Green, RAYE ] Hello, how are you? I hope you're well It's nice to be on a microphone with a story to tell I think of all the memories Some bitter, some sweet The people I've loved, and the people I'll never get to greet These heartaches don't get easier ( Easier ) Pains of losing love ( Losing love ) Time will help the healing And Christ that's up above Sometimes in life we have to say goodbye Tears falling from our eyes I pray it won't hurt like it does tonight [Chorus: RAYE, Al Green ] As I wish 'em only love Happiness I'm swallowing tears Yeah, I (As I'm watching you drive away) Through my window ( Yeah, yeah ) I don't want you to go How could I, baby? Oh-oh (Oh) I do hope you'll try your best And you'll drink a little less (And who knows, Henry?) That maybe one day we could try again Don't forget me (Forget me) or regret me (Regret me, regret me) Don't forget, don't forget, don't forget, lo-lo-lo-lo-love I hope ( You're happy now ) Wherever he is ( Feeling better now ) He's happy, he's safe And he's oh so over this, though I'm ( I said ) Still in love, still in love, still in love with him ( Oh ) Don't forget, don't forget, don't forget ( My, my, my ) Da-dum-da-dum, oh I (I hope) hope (Wherever he is) Ooh, I do (He's happy, he's safe) I hope he's happy and safe (And he's oh so over this, though I'm) (Still in love, still in love, still in love with him) I may be Still, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, love, love tonight [Outro: RAYE] And I guess sometimes that's just how it goes Sometimes love sticks around And sometimes love hits the road And as I watch Henry drive out of my life I warned you, dear listener, didn't I? When I told you this is a sad, sad, sad song Drop it here Hahaha, Brooksy can't see me
