good at goodbyes

(album: astronaut boy - 2023)

Baby, don't call me back
Even though I called you first
I regret every text I sent ever since we didn't work
And maybe don't check your phone
'Cause you gon' see a lot of me
Gambling with my heart, I'll never win your lottery
We both know that we keep playing games
Can't talk, but somehow, we can play charades
And judging by that look up on your face
You still got a lot you wanna say

Now I'm pacing back and forth in this bathroom stall
Wishing that I won't, but I'm still gon' call your phone
When I'm all alone
And you're sitting on your bed watching Parks and Rec
But you're not really watching 'cause you're thinking 'bout me instead
We're such a mess

But I can't keep putting my heart on the line for you
Wasting my time on you
I'm no good at goodbyes
I'm making it harder than I'm trying to
I wish I was more like you
'Cause you're so good at goodbyes

I should have gone MIA
And quit you like a cigarette
But the more I stayed away, the more I couldn't catch my breath
I wish that I hated you, I wish you hated me
But we're still so in love, it's tough to realize we should leave

Now I'm pacing back and forth in this bathroom stall
Wishing that I won't, but I'm still gon' call your phone
When I'm all alone
And you're sitting on your bed watching Parks and Rec
But you're not really watching 'cause you're thinking 'bout me instead
We're such a mess

But I can't keep putting my heart on the line for you
Wasting my time on you
I'm no good at goodbyes
I'm making it harder than I'm trying to
I wish I was more like you
'Cause you're so good at goodbyes
