Tell Me What’s So Good About Goodbye Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I thought love was meant to last forever
Isn't that how love's supposed to be?
Now it seems the good times are all over
It's so funny, I guess the joke's on me
Every day I sit alone and wonder
Why I fell in love so easily
And then woke up to find that all he left behind
Are tattered dreams and broken pieces in my memory

[Chorus]
So tell me what's so good about goodbye
What's so good about watching good love die
He's the kind you can't forget
So I won't even try
Tell me what's so good
I gave him all I could
Tell me what's so good about goodbye

[Verse 2]
I don't think I'll ever love another
I didn't know that goodbye could hurt so bad
I know I'll always find he's somewhere in my mind
Still believe the worst of him's the best I'll ever have

[Chorus]
So tell me what's so good about goodbye
What's so good about watching good love die
He's the kind you can't forget
So I won't even try
Tell me what's so good
I gave him all I could
Tell me what's so good about goodbye

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
