My Mister Goodbye

Song Description

Tired of waiting for her lover who has a habit of leaving her to pursue his dreams, just to return when it's convenient for him, the singer says she's had enough. He's always been the one to say goodbye (just for a while), she's always been the one to wait for him but now she has decided to put herself first and tells him not only is this last goodbye hers, it's also final. If you read the lyrics you'll see the progression of the story through both the bridges and choruses through the subtle wording.

Lyrics


Verse I
Every Hello
Comes with it's own pretty lie
Staying's not your style
My Mister Goodbye
Too many times
These words you've weaved before
Afraid to believe
And let you back in
You'll just change your mind

Chorus
I can't believe
You're here today
But you won't stay
Breezed back in
And hit replay
Kissed me senseless
Left defenseless
To be swayed

Bridge
Not again
Not this time
I was once a fool
With my eyes shut tight
But not blind
My lesson learned
A new frame of mind

Verse II
Still you want me, doesn't matter
Hour glass I've shattered
My idle lips
Stranded without your kiss
Instead blew time's sand
Back to the sea
Like myself, it's now free
You see My Mister Goodbye
Without a new beginning
No endings
This last goodbye
Is finally mine

Chorus II
Babe
You're here today
But never stay
Breezed back in
And hit replay
Kissed me senseless
But not defenseless
To be swayed

Bridge II
Not again
Not this time
No longer a fool
My eyes opened wide
They're not blind
I've had enough
I refuse to try

Chorus III
Yes
You're here today
No need to stay
Breezed back in
But I won't play
Not one more kiss
To mourn or miss
It's good bye

Outro
This time the goodbye is mine
Mister Goodbye
