"i still say goodnight" lyrics

"i still say goodnight"

You stopped saying, "goodnight"
That was the first sign that you were letting go
Now you don't see me the same way
You're looking at me like I'm only getting old

And I
Shoulda known
That you were only scared to be alone

I couldn't say much
I was distracted
You seemed so anxious like you had something to hide

Tell me, "it's nothing"
I don't believe you
I know that look you get when you're about to lie

I feel so stupid
'Cause I still say, "goodnight"

I always tried to impress you
Got so dressed up and no you never seemed to care
Your ridiculous expectations
Lack of validations, was never fucking fair

And I
Shoulda known
That you were only scared to be alone

I couldn't say much
I was distracted
You seemed so anxious like you had something to hide

Tell me, "it's nothing"
I don't believe you
I know that look you get when you're about to lie

I feel so stupid
'Cause I still say, "goodnight"


Writer(s): Tate McRae, Finneas O'Connell
Tate McRae described "I Still Say Goodnight" on TikTok on the 14th of April, 2022, "It sounds like credits rolling at the end of a movie."
This song was co-written in collaboration with FINNEAS. In an interview with Seventeen (published on the 8th of April, 2022), Tate McRae explained, "I was nervous because he's got so much knowledge and is such an incredible producer and can play any instrument. Obviously, I've been a huge fan of Billie's forever, so I was a little starstruck walking into the room. I can't believe he wanted to write with me. He started putting down these heartbreaking piano chords and we started writing this song – which is the last track on the album – and it was weird because I didn't even know that I was feeling this way at the time."
