1000 Goodbyes Lyrics

I've spent all my life just carrying onAnd for every right thing I've done ten have been wrongIt's not that I'm bragging for the sake of a songBut life looks much better in perspectiveAnd your eyes look at me from near and from farTen thousand miles and you're still where you areAnother brass rail in another old barI'm better at dreaming than livingREFRAIN:For every hello there's a thousand good byesAnd leaving is harder when I look in your eyesYou've got to believe me I'm not telling liesThat for every hello there's a thousand good byesThe years slip away like the spring melts the snowAnd I'm older and wise rthan you'll ever knowAnd if you believe that then it's time I should go'Cause I'm just as confused and more twistedAnd things keep on changing for better or worseAnd rhymes just get harder with every new verseAnd to say that I love you sounds way too perverse'Cause I'm getting on that bus in the morningREFRAINI could give it all to youBut I can't control the things that I doAnd I don't know what to say'Cause the sun's coming up and I know I can't stayREFRAIN (x2)So goodbyeAnd goodbyeYeah goodbye
