Lyrics
You should know me by now
You should be familiar with who I am
I'm the last to arrive and the first to leave
I'm often the last person to arrive and the first to leave
Don't wait up for me
Don't wait for me, as I may not be coming back soon
I don't wanna be the reason that you are losing sleep
I don't want to be the cause of your sleepless nights
You should know me by now
Reiteration of being known for a certain behavior
That I've always got one foot out the door
I habitually have one foot ready to leave
Don't wait up for me
Similar to line 3, emphasizing not to expect my presence
I don't wanna be the reason that you are losing sleep
Reiteration of not wanting to cause your sleeplessness
I've mastered the art of disappearing when you need me the most
I'm skilled at disappearing precisely when you need me
And I'm sorry that I've never been to good at goodbye
I apologize for not being adept at saying goodbye
Yeah I'm no good at goodbye
Reiteration of the difficulty in saying goodbye
You should know me by now
Reiterating the idea that I'm always ready to leave
That I've always got my eye on the exit
I'm constantly aware of escape routes
I've never been the one to stay 'til the lights come on
I've never been one to stay until the end of an event
Don't wait up for me
Reiteration of not wanting to be the cause of your sleepless nights
I don't wanna be the reason that you are losing sleep
Reiteration of the impact of my departure on your sleep
I've mastered the art of disappearing when you need me the most
Emphasizing the skill of disappearing when needed
And I'm sorry that I've never been to good at goodbye
Apology for the difficulty in saying goodbye
Yeah I'm no good at
Expressing inadequacy at saying goodbye
I've mastered the art of disappearing when you need me the most
Reiteration of the skill of disappearing when needed
And I'm sorry that I've never been to good at goodbye
Apology for the challenge in saying goodbye
Goodbye
A straightforward farewell
I know I've been letting everybody down
Acknowledging the disappointment caused to others
Wish you knew that I'm doing the best that I can
Expressing that I'm trying my best despite letting others down
And it takes all my strength
Highlighting the effort required to step outside
Just to walk out my front door
Reiterating the difficulty of leaving home
Wish you knew that I'm doing the best that I can
Reiteration of trying one's best despite challenges
No I'm no good at goodbye
Admitting the difficulty in saying goodbye
I'm no good at goodbye
Reiteration of being inept at goodbyes
I'm no good at goodbye
Reiteration of struggling with farewells
I'm no good at goodbye
Final acknowledgment of difficulty in saying goodbye
