Goodbye Lyrics – Sabrina Carpenter
Goodbye Lyrics
[Verse 1] Broke my heart on saturday Guess overnight your feelings changed And i have cried so much i almost fainted (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
To show you just how much it hurts I wish i had a gun or words If somethin’ got lost in communication (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
[Pre-Chorus] Well, sayonara, adiós You’re not bilingual, but you should know
[Chorus] Goodbye means that you’re losing me for life Can’t call it love, then call it quits Can’t shoot me down, then shoot the shit Did you forget that it was you who said goodbye So you don’t get to be the one who cries Can’t have your cake and eat it too By walking out, that means you choose goodbye
[Verse 2] The feeling so specific Wanna punch you every other minute, oh You used to love my ass, Now, baby, you won’t see it anymore (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
We’ll just give it three weeks, buddy Gonna wake up from your coma, honey, ooh And that’s when you’ll be holding hokey flowers, Standing at my door (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
[Pre-Chorus] But i’ll say, “arrivederci, au revoir” Forgive my french, but, fuck you, ta-ta
[Chorus] Goodbye means that you’re losing me for life Can’t call it love, then call it quits Can’t shoot me down, then shoot the shit Did you forget that it was you who said goodbye (Did you forget that it was you who said goodbye)
So you don’t get to be the one who cries Can’t have your cake and eat it too By walking out, that means you choose goodbye
[Bridge] Sayonara, adiós On the flip side, cheerio Por siempre te amo, wait, no Shit, when did you get here Go put on some clothes
[Chorus] Goodbye means that you’re losing me for life Can’t call it love, then call it quits Can’t shoot me down, then shoot the shit Did you forget that it was you who said goodbye (Did you forget that it was you who said goodbye)
So you don’t get to be the one who cries Can’t have your cake and eat it too By walking out, that means you choose goodbye
[Outro] Goodbye! Get home safe
