Hello Is Harder To Say Than Goodbye

People come and go so I don't get attached If you leave, make sure you're ready to go for good because I won't let you come back If you'd had people leave like I have, you'd understand why I find it harder to say Hello than to say goodbye I struggle to let new people in, I fear getting close I let my skeletons out the closet to share my ghosts Head and heart are speaking, so I make sure to hear them both But I already know you don't always need to repair what's broke If people can hurt you once, they can hurt you twice Saying sorry doesn't automatically make things right I value words, but I trust actions Maybe I'm wrong because I wear my scars like it's a fashion But I never make a promise I can't keep When I say I'll be there, I won't leave But not many other people, Stick to these rules That's why I refuse to trust anyone else, as it usually makes you look like a fool People come and go so I don't get attached If you leave, make sure you're ready to go for good because I won't let you come back If you'd had people leave like I have, you'd understand why I find it harder to say Hello than to say goodbye
