learnt to love goodbyes

I read the stories, seen the films, I know it all

Better to lose a love then never love at all

But growing up the hurt was all I ever saw

You say you're different, you won't leave me, I've heard it before

Everyone's different till I show every one of my flaws

I don't expect you to pick me up every time I fall

People coming and going but they never stay

There's always a reason the cab's five minutes away

No need to act like you won't do the same

I've learnt to love goodbyes

I'm so used to people leaving I don't cry

I've learnt to love goodbyes

So if you're going you don't need to tell me why

I've learnt to love goodbyes

You're picture perfect on paper, just what I'm looking for

Someone I'd show to my sister and know that she'd adore

But I'm scared of commitment, my head and heart's at war

(My head and heart's, my, my head and heart's)

People coming and going but they never stay

There's always a reason the cab's five minutes away

No need to act like you won't do the same

I've learnt to love goodbyes

I'm so used to people leaving I don't cry

I've learnt to love goodbyes

So if you're going you don't need to tell me why

I've learnt to love goodbyes

I've learnt to love goodbyes
