  • You must think that I'm stupid
    You must think that I'm a fool
    You must think that I'm new to this
    But I have seen this all before

    I'm never gonna let you close to me
    Even though you mean the most to me
    'Cause every time I open up, it hurts
    So I'm never gonna get too close to you
    Even when I mean the most to you
    In case you go and leave me in the dirt

    But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
    And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
    And every time you walk out, the less I love you
    Baby, we don't stand a chance, and it's sad but it's true
    I'm way too good at goodbyes (I'm way too good at goodbyes)
    I'm way too good at goodbyes (I'm way too good at goodbyes)
    No way that you'll see me cry (no way that you'll see me cry)
    I'm way too good at goodbyes (I'm way too good at goodbyes)

    I know you're thinkin' I'm heartless
    I know you're thinkin' I'm cold
    I'm just protectin' my innocence
    I'm just protectin' my soul

    I'm never gonna let you close to me
    Even though you mean the most to me
    'Cause every time I open up, it hurts
    So I'm never gonna get too close to you
    Even when I mean the most to you
    In case you go and leave me in the dirt

    But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
    And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
    And every time you walk out, the less I love you
    Baby, we don't stand a chance, and it's sad but it's true
    I'm way too good at goodbyes (I'm way too good at goodbyes)
    I'm way too good at goodbyes (I'm way too good at goodbyes)
    No way that you'll see me cry (no way that you'll see me cry)
    I'm way too good at goodbyes (I'm way too good at goodbyes)

    No
    No, no, no, no, no (I'm way too good at goodbyes)
    No, no, no, no
    No, no, no (I'm way too good at goodbyes)
    (No way that you'll see me cry)
    Ah (I'm way too good at goodbyes)

    'Cause every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
    And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
    And every time you walk out, the less I love you
    Baby, we don't stand a chance, and it's sad but it's true
    I'm way too good at goodbyes Writer/s: James Napier, Mikkel Eriksen, Sam Smith, Tor Hermansen
