Goodbye Looks Good On Me

Lyrics

INTRO (Soft piano, distant reverb) Boy, I finally breathe easy now Funny how letting go feels like freedom Goodbye… goodbye… ⸻ [VERSE 1] You were running every Friday night Chasing every neon light I was dreaming small town slow You were halfway out the door I kept holding on for dear life You kept chasing one more night I was trying to plant some roots You were burning through the truth ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS] I stayed through the falling apart You only loved me half-hearted from the start ⸻ CHORUS (BELTING, WINDOWS-DOWN) Turns out goodbye looks good on me Little more wild little more free Little less crying in the passenger seat Little more dancing downtown to the beat Now you’re calling saying maybe we should try Funny how you miss me now that I’m alright You had forever but you let it go Now I’m doing better on my own ⸻ [POST-CHORUS] Yeah yeah Doing better now Yeah yeah Goodbye looks good on me ⸻ [VERSE 2] You were all about the next big thing I was all about matching rings Every night was “maybe someday” Till someday just slipped away Now my girls got me downtown Windows down, music loud And I laugh more than I cry Got my peace and my Friday nights ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS] Turns out letting go ain’t hard When somebody breaks your heart ⸻ [CHORUS] Turns out goodbye looks good on me Little more wild little more free Little less crying in the passenger seat Little more dancing downtown to the beat Now you’re calling saying maybe we should try Funny how you miss me now that I’m alright You had forever but you let it go Now I’m doing better on my own ⸻ BRIDGE (talk/rap – super laid-back) He don’t leave me waiting all night He don’t love me part-time He looks at me like I’m enough And that kind of love feels right Now I finally see myself Like I should’ve all along Turns out moving on Looks good on me after all ⸻ FINAL CHORUS (FULL BELT, HARMONIES) Turns out goodbye looks good on me (Goodbye… goodbye…) Little more wild little more free (goodbye…goodbye..) Little less tears and a little more peace Little more living like I’m supposed to be Now you’re watching me light up the night Too late now, boy, I’m alright You had forever but you let it go Now I’m doing better on my own ⸻ OUTRO (Piano returns) Yeah yeah Goodbye looks good on me Windows down, heart wide open Finally feeling free Yeah yeah Doing better now Goodbye looks good on me
