River in Reverse

This one was hard to write
I barely knew you all my life
So why’d you do it?
Bring me here to say goodbye?
Goodbye
There was a time when I needed you, but I did without
Took a while, but I figured it out
Now why’d you do it?
Bring me here to say goodbye?
Goodbye
Now you want to paddle up some river in reverse
I send you down a hall of mirrors
I do not have an answer for you
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
