"No Good At Goodbyes" lyrics
Not too good at goodbyes
They're not my expertise
While I wish you were right
That I've always been
Someone who stays
When everyone leaves
I can't be your air
If I can't breathe
Call me, when you wake up
When the sun is ablaze
I'll be the charcoal, you the furnace
A violent cascade
'Cause I see that heat in your eyes
Can't keep my composure
While our embers intertwine
If I didn't know you
Until old age
I'd forfeit all the afterlives
To try this again
Would I even choose you?
Just like a moth to flame
I'd meet my fate
You'd thieve my gaze
The way you magnetize me
Not too good at goodbyes
They're not my expertise
While I wish you were right
That I've always been
Someone who stays
When everyone leaves
I can't be your air
If I can't breathe
Call in the night
No matter the time
Even as ashes confuse the warmth in our veins
For something we desperately tried
To keep in our hearts
When will this cinder illuminate my glacial core?
I'd rather you leave me scorched
Not too good at goodbyes
They're not my expertise
While I wish you were right
That I've always been
Someone who stays
When everyone leaves
I can't be your air
If I can't breathe (if I can't, if I can't)
So, suffocate me instead (suffocate me instead)
Extinguish whatever's left (extinguish whatever's left)
Don't you pick up that phone again
It's a cycle that burns us alive
This existential dread
Is making us desperate
With you there's no temperance
Unless I-
Disassociate and pull away
On cuffs that I securely placed
Chained to flames that play charades
And incinerate all my hopes
If there's kindling left on my bones
All it offers is sorrow and smoke
If you breathe it in, I just need you to know
I'm no good at goodbyes
They're not my expertise
While I wish you were right
That I've always been
Someone who stays
I'd leave you my dying breath
As one final grave mistake
Is it too late? Oh, no, no
Is it too-
They're not my expertise
While I wish you were right
That I've always been
Someone who stays
When everyone leaves
I can't be your air
If I can't breathe
Call me, when you wake up
When the sun is ablaze
I'll be the charcoal, you the furnace
A violent cascade
'Cause I see that heat in your eyes
Can't keep my composure
While our embers intertwine
If I didn't know you
Until old age
I'd forfeit all the afterlives
To try this again
Would I even choose you?
Just like a moth to flame
I'd meet my fate
You'd thieve my gaze
The way you magnetize me
Not too good at goodbyes
They're not my expertise
While I wish you were right
That I've always been
Someone who stays
When everyone leaves
I can't be your air
If I can't breathe
Call in the night
No matter the time
Even as ashes confuse the warmth in our veins
For something we desperately tried
To keep in our hearts
When will this cinder illuminate my glacial core?
I'd rather you leave me scorched
Not too good at goodbyes
They're not my expertise
While I wish you were right
That I've always been
Someone who stays
When everyone leaves
I can't be your air
If I can't breathe (if I can't, if I can't)
So, suffocate me instead (suffocate me instead)
Extinguish whatever's left (extinguish whatever's left)
Don't you pick up that phone again
It's a cycle that burns us alive
This existential dread
Is making us desperate
With you there's no temperance
Unless I-
Disassociate and pull away
On cuffs that I securely placed
Chained to flames that play charades
And incinerate all my hopes
If there's kindling left on my bones
All it offers is sorrow and smoke
If you breathe it in, I just need you to know
I'm no good at goodbyes
They're not my expertise
While I wish you were right
That I've always been
Someone who stays
I'd leave you my dying breath
As one final grave mistake
Is it too late? Oh, no, no
Is it too-
