I know better than to get attached

It only hurts to let go

Maybe it’s just that I haven’t found my match

But I’d rather take life in slow


I thought that it would be the same

When I saw you first,

But now in the dark, I whisper your name

And believe me, it hurts


I’m so good at goodbyes,

I can just shrug it off

Find a new face to call mine     

Yeah, I’m good at goodbyes


But when I see your face, I wish I could stop time

Every day I’m seeing through a different set of eyes      

I guess it’s no surprise that I’m

Too good at goodbyes


I thought that I’d been here before,

I didn’t think it would be hard

I want to cut it off, shut the door

But no, I’ve drawn the losing card


I’ve learned to swallow all my pain

Hold the tears, don’t let it show

But now I won’t see you again

And I just can’t let that go


I’m so good at goodbyes,

I can just shrug it off

Find a new face to call mine    

Yeah, I’m good at goodbyes

 

But when I see your face, I wish I could stop time

Every day I’m seeing through a different set of eyes      

I guess it’s no surprise that I’m 

So good at goodbyes


And now I’m looking into your eyes

For the very last time

It feels like a day since we met, how time flies

I don’t wanna let you go, please be mine


But I know that this can’t be

When I met you I knew to beware

Just hold me close, set me free

We can take it together from there


I’m so good at goodbyes,

I can just shrug it off

Find a new face to call mine      

Yeah, I’m good at goodbyes


But when I see your face, I wish I could stop time

Every day I’m seeing through a different set of eyes     

I guess Its no surprise that Im

So good at goodbyes

Don't let anyone tell you who you should be, you are what you make yourself out to be

Ooh these lyrics are really nice! My favorite is "And now I’m looking into your eyes, for the very last time" :)
