Goodbye, I love you, goodbye

You're always welcome here under false pretenses

Sneak under my radar with your stealthy charm

You're welcome here with open arms and no defenses

We infect each other with a simple harm

Goodbye, I love you, goodbye

So sincere

So sincere 

Have been I

Goodbye, I love you, goodbye

Words mean nothing 

Love means nothing

Then it dies 

We're never quite the people we both pretend to be 

It's okay this vision of love is askew

I'll be him, he'll be you, we'll be sad in torment, recklessly 

Neither knowing the other's truth

Goodbye, I love you, goodbye

So sincere

So sincere 

Have been I

Goodbye, I love you, goodbye

Words mean nothing 

Love means nothing

Then it dies 

I bet you smiled when you told him that we were through

I bet you glowed like the stars when you promised him the world that we knew

I bet the rug burns on you bleeding knees

Matched the lying words falling from your crooked teeth

And I know that you gave him all the best that you stole

From a heart that only wanted to be the one that you know

Goodbye, I love you, goodbye

So sincere

So sincere 

Have been I

Goodbye, I love you, goodbye

Words mean nothing 

Love means nothing

Then it dies 

Goodbye, I love you, goodbye

Was it queer

To be sincere 

How could I

Goodbye, I love you, goodbye

Words mean nothing 

Love means nothing

Then it dies
