Here it is again, I'm feeling paper-thin
See you waving and gone leaves me losering
Though the sun is up, my dark shades are down
Where's the bang, the kind that kicks me off the ground
I'm all aching for you
To come 'round
Oh, I hate goodbyes, I really hate goodbyes
Even though there's a hello on the other side
Yeah, I hate goodbyes, I really hate goodbyes
A waste of time, I'm dying not being by your side
Love's a traffic jam, my car’s stuck in between
Lights on red, I'd give it all to skip this scene
Most of the songs I sing are all 'bout breaking up
Rather ball and brag and raise my cup to cheer
Fill in spaces but you're not here
So I'm waiting
Oh, I hate goodbyes, I really hate goodbyes
Even though there's a hello on the other side
Yeah, I hate goodbyes, I really hate goodbyes
A waste of time, I'm dying not being by your side now
I’m still hanging in, trying to speed the clock
Then recognize your silhouette just blows the block
To see your sparkling eyes with your golden smile
These two things hearten me for the last mile to go
To hold on
Damn, yeah I need some
Oh, I hate goodbyes, I really hate goodbyes
Even though there's a hello on the other side
Yeah, I hate goodbyes, I really hate goodbyes
A waste of time, I'm dying not being by your side
