Hold back my tears
I don't wanna say goodbye
Goodbye
Hate that you're here
I see the pain in your eyes
In your eyes

You'd tell me to go, say I'll be fine
Know that you're lying but keep it inside
Wish I could change this, turn back the time
And all of your hurting, make it all mine
Return the love once gave to me
I'll be the person you raise me to be
No matter what happens, I'll be there with you
If I had the choice, I'd

I'd take you back to Daytona
Daytona, where the sun always shines
Always shines
I'd take you back to Daytona
Daytona, to live out the rest of your life
No more goodbyes
'Cause one day I'll be by your side

Fighting, hiding when you don't remember my name
That you gave me
Trying, declining
No matter what, I'll always feel the same
Always feel the same

When you no longer speak and know who I am
Tell you I love you and I know you can
Push off emotions, I'll be strong for you
The way that you were growing up in my youth
Give back the time you gave up for me
Tell you the memories I'll forever keep
'Til one day I lay in this bed that you sleep
Pray my future children do the same for me

I'm going back to Daytona
Daytona, where the sun always shines
Always shines
I'm going back to Daytona
Daytona, to live out the rest of my life
No more goodbyes
'Cause I'll always be by your side
