1000 Goodbyes Lyrics - Singles - Captain Tractor

I've spent all my life just carrying on 

And for every right thing I've done ten have been wrong 

It's not that I'm bragging for the sake of a song 

But life looks much better in perspective 

And your eyes look at me from near and from far 

Ten thousand miles and you're still where you are 

Another brass rail in another old bar 

I'm better at dreaming than living 

REFRAIN: 

For every hello there's a thousand good byes 

And leaving is harder when I look in your eyes 

You've got to believe me I'm not telling lies 

That for every hello there's a thousand good byes 

The years slip away like the spring melts the snow 

And I'm older and wiser than you'll ever know 

And if you believe that then it's time I should go 

'Cause I'm just as confused and more twisted 

And things keep on changing for better or worse 

And rhymes just get harder with every new verse 

And to say that I love you sounds way too perverse 

'Cause I'm getting on that bus in the morning 

REFRAIN 

I could give it all to you 

But I can't control the things that I do 

And I don't know what to say 

'Cause the sun's coming up and I know I can't stay 

REFRAIN (x2) 

So goodbye 

And goodbye 

Yeah goodbye
