[Verse 1] You walk in late with your apologies Like they’re a coat you never take off You say my name like it still belongs to you Then watch me pretend it doesn’t hurt I know the script, I know the scene The slow collapse behind the screen You leave the light on in the hall Like that could save us after all [Pre-Chorus] I learned to smile before the fall I learned to leave before the call [Chorus] I got good at goodbye Before you ever said the word I keep one foot outside So I don’t have to feel the hurt You can say you’ll stay tonight But I’ve heard that line before I got good at goodbye So I don’t need you anymore [Verse 2] Your record spins across the room That same old song, that same perfume I used to wait for you to change Now I just change the lock and leave I kept the bruises out of sight Made every exit look polite You call it cold, I call it wise To stop believing pretty lies [Pre-Chorus] I learned to smile before the fall I learned to leave before the call [Chorus] I got good at goodbye Before you ever said the word I keep one foot outside So I don’t have to feel the hurt You can say you’ll stay tonight But I’ve heard that line before I got good at goodbye So I don’t need you anymore [Bridge] Maybe I’m the one who runs Maybe I’m afraid of love But every time I let you in You teach me how to shut it off again [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] I got good at goodbye Before you ever said the word I keep one foot outside So I don’t have to feel the hurt You can say you’ll stay tonight But I’ve heard that line before I got good at goodbye And I’m walking out the door [Outro] Good at goodbye Good at goodbye I’m walking out the door
