Verse 2: 
 
        You try to be smart, then you   take it to heart 
        'Cause it hurts when your ego is deflated 
        You don't realize that it's all compromise 
        And the problems are so overrated 
 
        Goodbye means nothing if it's just for show 
        So why pretend you've somewhere else to go
