Goodbye to my old friend
To the heartache and the pain
To the broken record playing
To the words I used to sing

I joined in with the band
I grabbed my instruments and played
We found new songs to sing
Seeking peace they'd never bring

And we sang it over and over and over again

Don't wait around for me
'Cause I won't be coming back
No prison cell for me
Thank you Jesus I am free

You broke the chains that bound me
And you washed away my shame
With all my sin abounding
You came along and took the blame

So I'll praise you over and over and over again

Good night my old best friend
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore

When all you have is something
Then you hold onto it tight
'Cause something's more than nothing
And it gets you through the night

But now you've changed my heart
And the old things quickly dim
A friend so close to me
And a love that never ends

So I'll thank you over and over and over again

Good night my best friend
I don't need you anymore

Goodbye to my old best friend
I don't need you anymore
Goodbye
I don't need you anymore
