[Intro]
It's only been a week since you
Said I wasn't the one, huh
But it feels like more 'cause without you
Time don't fly, it don't even run
[Chorus]
Why? Why? Why?
Is this all I am to you? Is this all I am? A goodbye?
Why? Why? Why?
After everything we've been through
Is this how it ends? With a goodbye?
Just a thing of the past, a thing that you leave behind
[Verse 1]
Just a thing that you leave
Unless you didn't mean it
Say what you mean
I'll be there if you provide that for me
You don't need to be sad or sorry
I need an answer, I'm right here
I need it, I'm dyin', baby
[Pre-Chorus]
Gave you the best of me
And you got the better of me, baby
Took your insecurities and now they're mine (Uh, yeah)
Now they're mine
I was never shy but you made me wanna hide, baby
To keep you on my side and that's not right, so
[Chorus]
Why? Why? Why?
Is this all I am to you? Is this all I am? A goodbye?
Why? Why? Why?
After everything we've been through
Is this how it ends? With a goodbye?
[Verse 2]
Time doesn't heal all wounds
I don't care what they say (I don't care what they say)
When it's me and you, I can make my own rules
The rules that we play by (The rules that we play)
But I won't let myself ever play the fool
If it's you, who I'm fooled by
So I need an answer
I need it, I'm dyin', baby
[Pre-Chorus]
Gave you the best of me
And you got the better of me, baby
Took your insecurities and now they're mine (Yeah, uh)
Now they're mine
I was never shy but you made me wanna hide, baby
To keep you on my side and that's not right, so
[Chorus]
Why? Why? Why? (Why? Why? Why? Why?)
Is this all I am to you? (Yeah) Is this all I am? A goodbye? (A goodbye?)
Why? Why? Why? (Why?)
After everything we've been through (We've been through)
Is this how it ends? (Huh?) With a goodbye?
[Outro]
With a goodbye?
I'm dyin', baby
I need it, I'm dyin', baby
I need it, I'm dyin', baby
Yeah, it's only been a week, huh, oh, oh
It's only been a week, oh, oh-oh
With a goodbye? Goodbye?
Goodbyes was written by Mahalia & Max Pope & Benjamin Hart & JD. Reid.
Goodbyes was produced by JD. Reid.
This song started as an acoustic track, which made it feel desperately upsetting. So I said to JD, ‘How would you feel about turning it into a soft dance record? I’m not talking “oontz, oontz”, just give me something that makes me feel like I could move my head.’ Then we created that little moment w...
