Lyrics
Please, don’t say it now Please, don’t say it now I hate how goodbye sounds You take it hard I save my breath this time around You end the talk Then reach back in next time around You say you’re gone But you’ve been gone here for a while I hope you’ll still come back somehow Please, don’t say it now Please, don’t say it now I hate how goodbye sounds I hate how goodbye sounds [Chorus: shouty frustrated hook, compressed drums hit harder, sarcastic emotional release] It’s goodbye number four I can’t count anymore Same old hallway, same old door And I still want more It’s goodbye number four But I’m not keeping score I'm feeling relieved It’s not the last one anymore [Verse 2: drier vocal, sharper consonants, resentment under control] Somehow I saw You turn cold Somehow I saw You turn into someone else Somehow you made Me the cruel one in your tale But every maze needs More than one creature to fail Please, don’t say it now Please, don’t say it now I hate how goodbye sounds I hate how goodbye sounds [Bridge: stripped tension, vocal closer and more bitter, drums pull back] You leave like thunder Come back like rain Say it is over Then say my name I’m tired of guessing Which version is true The sweet one missing Or the one who cuts through [Final Chorus: biggest hook, bratty wounded delivery, compressed full-band punch] It’s goodbye number four I can’t count anymore Same old hallway, same old door And I still want more It’s goodbye number four But I’m not keeping score I should feel relieved It’s not the last one anymore [Outro: chant-like repetition, dry vocal, abrupt ending, no sentimental fade] Goodbye number four Relieved it’s not the last Goodbye number four Still living in the past Goodbye number four I know this little dance Goodbye number four Relieved it’s not the last
