[Intro]
One, two, three

[Verse 1]
Empathy's a wild thing
Tugging on my heartstrings, singing
That one needs a sweet dream
But love can be a nightmare
When you're looking at the moon like it's medicine
Dancing with a fool when you need a man

[Chorus]
Come a little bit closer
No, don't you cry
I won't give you forever
But I'll give you all night
It's a hard pill to swallow
But you still gotta try
To smile every time another lover says goodbye

[Verse 2]
Baby, I was like you (Like you)
Maybe I was all too willing
Learning to be lied to (Lied to)
And hiding to protect my feelings
Given nothing back, giving everything
Putting all the pain in the melody

[Chorus]
Comе a little bit closer
No, don't you cry
I won't give you forеver
But I'll give you all night
It's a hard pill to swallow
But you still gotta try
Just smile every time another lover says goodbye
[Bridge]
In a moment of weakness
I'd let you down
And you'd never know it
Until after I'm out
And the truth of the matter is
I'd rather be sorry now
Than lie like the other lovers always lie
Hide while I got you under covers try
To smile every time another lover says goodbye, hey

[Outro]
When another lover says (Goodbye) goodbye, hey
Goodbye
Goodbye
Say goodbye, yeah
Say you'll never say goodbye
