Theme

A highly emotional and angry song about a **toxic, on-again, off-again relationship** finally coming to an end. The title refers to the endless cycle of breakups and reconciliations, culminating in a final, regretful yet determined farewell.

Lyrics
The tides of change pulled us apart I feel a familiar pain It seems like years since we've loved Or even liked and that's a lonely way to be Drifting alone in a sea of agony Your face I can't recognize Don't make this hard on us I will miss you if you just go away I did no right you did no wrong Nothing left but wasted days I regret you leaving But I will never take you back Solo - pitrelli You know what? it's over I just don't feel the same way as I used to We've been together forever, but it's over **Goodbye 1000 times goodbye** The thought never crossed my mind That this would be my last goodbye Let me put pennies on your eyes And kiss your lips one last goodbye My love **1000 times goodbye** It seems nothing good is free A good thing cost much more than the price You were good but not that good Don't kid yourself now it's time to break up Drifting alone in a sea of agony Your face I can't recognize Don't make this hard on us I will miss you if you just go away I did no right you did no wrong Nothing left but wasted days I regret you leaving But I'll never take you back Solo - pitrelli Don't call me anymore. it's just not I don't feel the same way about you It's not as good as it used to be **Goodbye 1000 times goodbye** The thought never crossed my mind That this would be my last goodbye Let me put pennies on your eyes And kiss your lips one last goodbye My love **1000 times goodbye** Repeat chorus Solo - mustaine I'll always love you but just not like that Like what? I want to be honest with you I met someone else You did what? And I really, I really love him like I used to love you Remember the time that I told you that I was going out of town for business? Well I went to see him You know what? **you suck!** Solo - mustaine **Goodbye 1000 times** You'll always have a special place In my heart you know that It's just I can't be with you anymore it's over **Goodbye 1000 times** Things may not work out with him **Goodbye 1000 times** And if they don't **Goodbye 1000 times** Then I'll certainly call you **Goodbye 1000 times** You mean a lot to me I still really want to be friends with you I love you like you're my brother
