Good-bye!

I'm not going away. That's just the theme of this day's lyrics game. Either exactly "good bye" or something that means that.

Tell me you love me for a million years,
Then if it don't work out,
Then if it don't work out,
Then you can tell me goodbye.

Haven't the faintest idea who did it, but it's an oddly sweet song.
