Saying Goodbye Lyrics

She asked if I had any secrets
Any words I rarely share
Any problems or conditions
Any dust beneath the stairs
I rattled off a list of demons
Of broken glass beneath my skin
But soon my greatest flaw was rising
Around the time the air grew thin
'Cos I'm no good at saying goodbye
My palms start to sweat and my throat feels dry
I'm no good at saying goodbye
So won't you leave before I open my eyes
The day was filled with bright adventures
The night was soaked in red romance
But in the morning I felt helpless
Like a boxer in a trance
She laughed as if it was so simple
And wrapped her arms around my chest
My heart was ready to enjoy this
But my brain was worried 'bout the end
'Cos I'm no good at saying goodbye
My palms start to sweat and my throat feels dry
I'm no good at saying goodbye
So won't you leave before I open my eyes
I always start to stutter when the time runs down
I'm racing with the end of the day
I know she knows I know I love her
Still somehow I don't know what to say
Don't know what to say, don't know what to say
'Cos I'm no good at saying goodbye
My palms start to sweat and my throat feels dry
I'm no good at saying goodbye
So won't you leave before I open my eyes
Won't you leave before I open my eyes

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
