Lyrics

Goodbyes

It's only been a week since you
Said I wasn't the one, huh
But it feels like more 'cause without you
Time don't fly, it don't even run

Why? Why? Why?
Is this all I am to you? Is this all I am? A goodbye?
Why? Why? Why?
After everything we've been through
Is this how it ends? With a goodbye?
Just a thing of the past, a thing that you leave behind

Just a thing that you leave
Unless you didn't mean it
Say what you mean
I'll be there if you provide that for me
You don't need to be sad or sorry
I need an answer, I'm right here
I need it, I'm dyin', baby

Gave you the best of me
And you got the better of me, baby
Took your insecurities and now they're mine (Uh, yeah)
Now they're mine
I was never shy but you made me wanna hide, baby
To keep you on my side and that's not right, so

Why? Why? Why?
Is this all I am to you? Is this all I am? A goodbye?
Why? Why? Why?
After everything we've been through
Is this how it ends? With a goodbye?

Time doesn't heal all wounds
I don't care what they say (I don't care what they say)
When it's me and you, I can make my own rules
The rules that we play by (The rules that we play)
But I won't let myself ever play the fool
If it's you, who I'm fooled by
So I need an answer
I need it, I'm dyin', baby

Gave you the best of me
And you got the better of me, baby
Took your insecurities and now they're mine (Yeah, uh)
Now they're mine
I was never shy but you made me wanna hide, baby
To keep you on my side and that's not right, so

Why? Why? Why? (Why? Why? Why? Why?)
Is this all I am to you? (Yeah) Is this all I am? A goodbye? (A goodbye?)
Why? Why? Why? (Why?)
After everything we've been through (We've been through)
Is this how it ends? (Huh?) With a goodbye?
