A song about a relationship whose the speaker regretted to have. Number 13 represents the luck he didn’t have when he saw her and her “pretty eyes” and fell in love. Now he can’t bare to see the dying of the relationship, motivated by her “sweet disguise” and her “lovely lies”.
[Verse 1]
You've been seeing me
Through your grown up eyes and your sweet disguise
And you've been running free
With your lullabies and those same old lines
[Pre-Chorus]
Darling, I should've said goodbye
Before you even caught my eye
No, I can't bear to see this die
[Chorus 1]
Thirteen sad farewells, my darling
Thirteen sad farewells
I will see you no more, darling
I have used all my farewells
[Verse 2]
You've been seeing her
With her pretty eyes and her lovely lies
And I've been waiting here
I've been killing time hoping you will be mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Darling, I should've said goodbye
Before you even caught my eye
No, I can't bear to see this die
[Chorus 1]
Thirteen sad farewells, my darling
Thirteen sad farewells
I will see you no more, darling
I have used all my farewells
[Chorus 2]
Thirteen sad farewells, my darling
Thirteen sad farewells
I will see you no more, darling
You have used all your farewells
[Outro]
You have used all your farewells
You have used all your farewells
