Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song about an ex-boyfriend I had in the past who didn't treat me well. I stayed with him for a while but finally I knew that it was time to move on because he wasn't the one for me. I wrote now I am the one who is smiling inside and I wrote that because I got over him and said goodbye.
Song Description
This song is about being with a person who just wasn't right for you. Whether it was someone who cheated or just didn't treat you right. In the song it talks about thinking that that person was the best and he was so kind but really that wasn't the case at all the person turned out to be someone you shouldn't have been with at all. The best part is that the person got over that guy or girl and moved on in their life to find better.

Lyrics
FINALLY SAID GOODBYE
1ST VERSE
I WAS SO WRONG ABOUT YOU.
IT TOOK SO LONG GETTING OVER YOU.
I HAD TO BE STRONG AND LEAVE YOU, I HAD TO MOVE ON.
I MADE MYSELF TRY SO HARD, I GUESS I FINALLY REALIZED I DON'T NEED YOU. I THOUGHT YOU WERE THE BEST, I THOUGHT YOU WERE SO KIND.
CHORUS
WHOA, WHOA YOU WERE SO BAD FOR ME THAT I WOULD HAVE DIED. I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO CRIED, YOU DIDN'T CAUSE YOU DIDN'T CARE. NOW I AM THE ONE WHO IS SMILING INSIDE EVEN THOUGH YOUR NOT HERE. I FINALLY SAID GOODBYE.
2ND VERSE
I THOUGHT SO MANY THINGS. THOSE THINGS ARE LEFT BEHIND. I'M FINALLY OVER YOU AND I KNOW IT FEELS SO RIGHT.
REPEAT CHORUS
3RD VERSE
THE ONE WHO HELPED ME LIES WITHIN MY HEART, HIS NAME IS GOD. THAT IS WHO I THANK EVERY SINGLE DAY, HE SAVED MY LIFE.
CHORUS
YOU WERE SO BAD FOR ME THAT I WOULD HAVE DIED. I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO CRIED, YOU DIDN'T, CAUSE YOU DIDN'T CARE. NOW I AM THE ONE WHO IS SMILING INSIDE EVEN THOUGH YOUR NOT HERE. I FINALLY SAID GOODBYE.
MMM, I FINALLY SAID GOODBYE.
MM HMM, FINALLY SAID GOODBYE.
YEAH EH YEA
