Goodbye to Love

When you came
It was as though you were my first
I swallowed all of you with thirst
And relished each and every word
Like they were words I'd never heard
And, granted, some of them they were
But I knew
I knew that all of them were true
And still there's nothing I won't do for you
Except

Except waste another day
Waiting
Just in case you say hello
Because I'm saying goodbye to love

We both know our time is up
These sweet, sporadic spurts of love
Are everything
Except enough
Let's go back to being friends
We both knew this side would end
We could swap tales of one-night-stands
Laugh off our lack of long-term plans
Because I'm saying goodbye to love

Your name
Is always falling from my mouth
And always causing raised eyebrows
And smirks and all those other perks
We get from knowing someone's weak
I show it every time I speak of you
But I'm not ashamed
To have given up to you
Because I know that all of it was true 
And we both knew
That one day
One of us would have to say

We'd say goodbye to love

We both know our time is up
These sweet, sporadic spurts of love
Are everything
Except enough
Let's go back to being friends
We both knew this side would end
We could swap tales of one-night-stands
Laugh off our lack of long-term plans
Because I'm saying goodbye to love

I don't care if it's the “secret ingredient”
Or the one thing that gives life any meaning
Or the best feeling a human can be feeling
I'd rather swim round in a sea of rotting semen
Than even inflict this kind of pain on anyone
It's like I want to be sick but it's never going to come
And like my heart has been ripped out, but still hasn't gone
It hasn't gone
But I'm saying goodbye to love
