[Verse 1:]
She was falling down the mountain
An avalanche of human stone
As she tumbled to the valley
She thought she's better off alone
He felt the pressure of a million miles underneath the sea
Still taking in water from a love that couldn't be
It was girls on one side, boys on the other
No one was dancing or looking for love
[Chorus:]
Sometimes it's over before it begins
No one takes a risk and everyone wins
If you love someone, then let them go
‘cause goodbye is the new hello
The new hello
[Verse 2:]
She was hanging in the shadows
A ghost along the flowered walls
And when she stepped out of the darkness
She thought she'll never love at all
He felt the measure of a million lives underneath his skin
Still waiting for the courage and the music to begin
It was girls on one side, boys on the other
No one was dancing or looking for love
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
As the boys took the hands of the angels
She watched him frozen to the floor
When the lights slid off of the mirror ball
She couldn't see him anymore
She walked right out the door
[Chorus] (2x)
The new hello (goodbye)
The new hello
The new hello (goodbye)
The new hello
