There’s a plane out tonight
And I swear to you I’m gonna take that flight
Please don’t you come to see me cry
You’ve seen it in a million old goodbyes
There was me there was you
But there never was an us to hook onto
There were times we touched the sky
Long before a million old goodbyes
Breaking up sometimes is more loving than the staying up
Crying nights and planning how to patch it up
Knowing it was something needing giving up
It was good it was fine
We’ve played out this ending many times
We can say that we have tried
Way beyond a million old goodbyes
There’s a plane out tonight
And I swear to you I’m gonna take that flight
We can say that we have tried
Way beyond a million old goodbyes
Way beyond a million old goodbyes
