Busy people in their boring lives
leaving loops and ties
paying with sorry and goodbye
never meant anything to me
coz that's the way it is
and no one's gonna say their piece
i got no peace of mind
this happiness is a lie

times are changing
and i don't want to feel like myself
coz imma break my heart over and over again
honestly
i wish you didn't have to leave
how many times do we gotta say goodbye
why can't we stay just like this?

we never have enough time to make sense of it all
you & i for a little while
talk to me but don't get lost on the feeling baby
burned in the second degree
at the back of my brain you seem like you'd agree
but convenience
awfully loving, proximity

times are changing
and i don't want to feel like myself
coz I'mma break my heart over and over again
honestly
i wish you didn't have to leave
how many times do we gotta say goodbye
why can't we stay just like this?"
