She told me it was over.
Although she would not tell me why.
I asked if there was another.
She said no, it’s just goodbye.
I’ve had some time to think it over.
My tear filled eyes have had a cry.
I have come to the conclusion
There’s nothing good about goodbye.
There’s nothing good about goodbye.
It only makes somebody cry.
It always hurts when couples part,
Someone gets a broken heart.
There’s nothing good about goodbye.
In all the time we’ve been together
I’ve always given her some space.
I thought we would be forever.
A look of shock’s still on my face.
You know I never saw this coming.
Yes, it took me by surprise.
I sit here lonely and heartbroken.
There’s nothing good about goodbye.
There’s nothing good about goodbye.
It only makes somebody cry.
It always hurts when couples part,
Someone gets a broken heart.
There’s nothing good about goodbye.
My love for her will last forever.
You know I’d take her back again.
Will I turn my back? No, never.
I will always be her friend.
Yes, my heart is breaking.
And for sure a part of me did die.
And Baby my whole body’s shaking.
There’s nothing good about goodbye.
There’s nothing good about goodbye.
It only makes somebody cry.
It always hurts when couples part,
Someone gets a broken heart.
There’s nothing good about goodbye.

While I don’t agree with your conclusion, you said it in the exact way I was asking for. I don’t usually like repetition but it fit so well, it was all but unnoticeable. Good work and good luck in my contest.

Thanks for entering my contest. I must disagree with you. Goodbye's hurt, but sometimes goodbye is a second chance. I wish you much luck.

Goodbyes suck! Lets just say......Until then........

I like how you repeated
"There’s nothing good about goodbye.
It only makes somebody cry.
It always hurts when couples part,
Someone gets a broken heart.
There’s nothing good about goodbye."
Like a chorus and how you rhymed and flowed, I agree there is nothing good about good-bye, thank you for your entry and good luck.
