I read the stories, seen the films, I know it all
Better to lose a love then never love at all
But growing up the hurt was all I ever saw
You say you're different, you won't leave me
I've heard it before
Everyone's different till I show every one of my flaws
I don't expect you to pick me up every time I fall

People coming and going, but they never stay
There's always a reason the cab's five minutes away
No need to act like you won't do the same
I've learnt to love goodbyes
I'm so used to people leaving, I don't cry
I've learnt to love goodbye
So if you're going you don't need to tell me why
I've learnt to love goodbyes

You're picture perfect on paper, just what I'm looking for
Someone I'd show to my sister and know that she'd adore
But I'm scared of commitment, my head and heart's at war
(My head and heart's, my, my, head and heart) ooh

People coming and going, but they never stay
There's always a reason the cab's five minutes away
No need to act like you won't do the same
I've learnt to love goodbyes
I'm so used to people leaving, I don't cry (ohh)
I've learnt to love goodbye
(I've learnt, ohh, I've learnt)
So if you're going you don't need to tell me why
I've learnt to love goodbyes
