Lyrics of bye by Ariana Grande

intro

Bye-bye, boy, bye
Bye-bye, boy, bye
It's over, it's over, oh yeah

verse

This ain't the first time I've been hostage to these tears
I can't believe I'm finally moving through my fears
At least I know how hard we tried, both you and me
Didn't we? Didn't we?

pre-chorus

So I grab my stuff, Courtney just pulled up
In the driveway, it's time

chorus

Bye-bye, boy, bye
Bye-bye, it's over, it's over, oh yeah
Bye-bye, I'm takin' what's mine
Bye-bye, it's over, it's over, oh yeah

verse

You know? I'm stronger than I think
Usually, I'd join you on the floor, but this dance ain't for me
Boy, just turn the music up, maybe someday we'll look back with love
Didn't think you'd lose me
Now it's just too late to choose me

pre-chorus

So I grab my stuff, Courtney just pulled up
In the driveway, it's time

chorus

Bye-bye, boy, bye
Bye-bye, it's over, it's over, oh yeah
Bye-bye, I'm takin' what's mine, yeah
Bye-bye, it's over, it's over, oh yeah

bridge

Now it's certainly bittersweet
This hook feels too hard to sing
But it's better than repeat

chorus

Bye-bye, boy, bye
Bye-bye, it's over, it's over, oh yeah
Bye-bye, I'm takin' what's mine
Bye-bye, it's over, it's over, oh yeah

chorus

Bye-bye, boy, bye
Bye-bye, it's over, it's over, oh yeah
Bye-bye, I'm takin' what's mine
Bye-bye, it's over, it's over, oh, yeah
