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
