Too Good At Goodbyes

Of late, I have been riding on some kind of an emotional roller-coaster.
No worries, it was just some personal problems - not major ones but I am always and forever thankful for my ever supportive family and very close friends to keep me sane.

When I heard this song by Sam Smith, it kinda reminded me of my past relationships.
I went through it all before.

This is my very first time sharing with you my darkest secrets about my past relationships.

My very first love - it was lovey dovey at first and then when the time came for goodbye, it became very abusive. I was on the receiving end of every abusive action and I let it happened because I was so in love with the person (now I think I tried to save the relationship because I was afraid of being alone). The break up led to depression and I tried to kill myself by OD on pills. Luckily I was found by my housemates who later called the ambulance.

I survived.


The second one - the table turned and I was the abusive person. I abused my other half verbally and emotionally. I begged the person to stay by threatening to hurt myself and even kill myself if the person ever leaves me. The person did try to leave me and on both occasions, I also tried to kill myself by drinking detergents and luckily, it was not enough to kill me.

And the person still leaves, as the only thing that kept the relationship was threats.
Another goodbye.

And now, I intend to become more mature. No more threats and no more beggings.

So here it is, Too Good at Goodbyes by Sam Smith.
Read the lyrics.
Understand it.
Goodbyes made me strong.
And it will make you strong too.
Do not resort to ending your own life as there will be other love out there.

You must think that I'm stupid
You must think that I'm a fool
You must think that I'm new to this
But I have seen this all before

I'm never gonna let you close to me
Even though you mean the most to me
'Cause every time I open up, it hurts
So I'm never gonna get too close to you
Even when I mean the most to you
In case you go and leave me in the dirt

But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
And every time you walk out, the less I love you
Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true

I'm way too good at goodbyes
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)
I'm way too good at goodbyes
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)

I know you're thinking I'm heartless
I know you're thinking I'm cold
I'm just protecting my innocence
I'm just protecting my soul

I'm never gonna let you close to me
Even though you mean the most to me
'Cause every time I open up, it hurts
So I'm never gonna get too close to you
Even when I mean the most to you
In case you go and leave me in the dirt

But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
And every time you walk out, the less I love you
Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true

I'm way too good at goodbyes
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)
I'm way too good at goodbyes
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)
No way that you'll see me cry
(No way that you'll see me cry)

I'm way too good at goodbyes
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)
No
No, no, no, no, no
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)
No, no, no, no
No, no, no
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)
(No way that you'll see me cry)
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)

'Cause every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
And every time you walk out, the less I love you
Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true
I'm way too good at goodbyes

  13. love & relationships can be so bitter sweet...music definitely carries us in sad times but far better for you to write your pain rather than take it out on yourself in harmful ways.

  26. this is touching... I was in a relationship too once where my partner then threatened to kill me....it was scary as I did not know what I let myself in when the affair began... it was after a while when I realise he was actually a crook...
