[Intro] [Clean jangly electric guitar, bouncy bass, laid-back drums] Yeah, I know Here we go again [Verse 1] I've got three missed calls from my best friend Same old jeans that I should probably mend Bills on the table, dust on the shelf I'm getting pretty good at disappointing myself You said I think too much, I said you don't think We had that conversation over something to drink Now your name's still sitting at the top of my phone Funny how a stranger can feel more like home [Pre-Chorus] And I could say I'm doing better If you really wanna hear that lie I've been getting my shit together Just not all at the same time [Chorus] I'm bad at goodbyes, good at pretending Say that I'm fine, then I'm up till the morning Making up reasons to keep this alive Like I don't know how to leave things behind And I hate that I miss you But I miss you tonight Guess I'm bad at goodbyes And you're good at being right [Verse 2] My friends say I should get out more So I get dressed, then I sit on the floor Scroll through pictures of a life I don't lead Wanting everything I don't really need There's a party somewhere, I'm ignoring the text Got a head full of thoughts and a room full of mess Maybe next weekend I'll be someone new Or maybe I'll just order the usual food [Pre-Chorus] And I could say I'm getting older Like that explains the way I feel I'm just waiting for the moment When the things I want feel real [Chorus] I'm bad at goodbyes, good at pretending Say that I'm fine, then I'm up till the morning Making up reasons to keep this alive Like I don't know how to leave things behind And I hate that I miss you But I miss you tonight Guess I'm bad at goodbyes And you're good at being right [Bridge] [Drums drop out, muted guitar and intimate vocals] Maybe we're just bad timing Maybe I'm just hard to know Maybe I keep all the doors unlocked So I don't have to watch you go And that's a pretty shitty reason To keep somebody around Guess it's easier to miss you Than to put my phone face down [Instrumental Break] [Bright electric guitar riff, groovy bass, punchy live drums] [Final Chorus] I'm bad at goodbyes, good at pretending Laugh with my friends like my heart isn't bending Making up stories to soften the truth Like I didn't lose a little piece of me with you And I hate that I miss you But I'll be alright Maybe bad goodbyes Get a little less bad with time [Outro] [Loose guitar strumming, soft backing vocals] Yeah, I'll be alright At least that's the story tonight Bad at goodbyes But I'm giving it a try
