Goodbyes Lyrics
Me and Kurt feel the same, too much pleasure is pain
My girl spites me in vain, all I do is complain
She needs something to change, need to take off the e-e-edge
So f*ck it all tonight
And don't tell me to shut up
When you know you talk too much
But you don't got shit to say-ay-ay (Say)
I want you out of my head
I want you out of my bedroom tonight (Bedroom)
There's no way I could save you (Save you)
'Cause I need to be saved too
I'm no good at goodbyes
We're both actin' insane, but too stubborn to change
Now I'm drinkin' again, 80 proof in my veins
And my fingertips stained, looking over the e-e-edge
Don't f*ck with me tonight
Say you needed this heart, then you got it (Got it)
Turns out that it wasn't what you wanted (Wanted)
And we wouldn't let go and we lost it
Now I'm a goner
I want you out of my head (Head)
I want you out of my bedroom tonight (Bedroom)
There's no way I could save you (Save you)
'Cause I need to be saved too (Saved too)
I'm no good at goodbyes
I want you right in my life
I want you back here tonight
I'm tryna cut you, no knife
I wanna slice ya and dice ya
My argue possessive, ain't got you precise
Can you not turn off the TV? I'm watchin' a fight
My flight a garage, blue diamond, no shock
You poppin' like dove, this nigga bein' honest
You don't need a key to drive, your car on a charger
I just wanna see the side, the one that's unbothered, yeah
And I don't watch ya never to go outside ('Side)
I promise if they play, my n*ggas slidin' (Slidin')
I'm f*ckin' in her too but still ridin' (Ride in)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I want you out of my head (Head)
I want you out of my bedroom tonight (Bedroom)
There's no way I could save you (Save you)
'Cause I need to be saved too (Saved too)
I'm no good at goodbyes
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I'm no good at goodbyes
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I'm no good at goodbyes
Meaning of Goodbyes
“Goodbyes” by Post Malone is a raw and unsettling exploration of cyclical obsession, self-destruction, and the inability to truly move on from a toxic relationship. The song’s core revolves around a desperate, almost manic desire for someone who simultaneously represents both solace and agonizing pain – exemplified by the fractured dynamic with “Kurt” and his former lover. The lyrics paint a portrait of a man trapped in a destructive loop, fueled by alcohol and volatile emotions; he repeatedly demands her presence ("I want you back here tonight") while simultaneously yearning for her absence (“I want you out of my head”). This push-and-pull is underscored by erratic behavior – “actin’ insane,” obsessive arguments about the television, and increasingly bizarre imagery like a "blue diamond" car and references to violent fantasies (“slice ya and dice ya”).
Post Malone masterfully utilizes repetition—the insistent refrain of “I want you out of my head”—to highlight this internal struggle. The song isn't simply about a breakup; it’s about the inability to process grief or loss, manifesting as a desperate clinging to a painful memory. The line "I'm no good at goodbyes" is a devastating admission of self-awareness, acknowledging his role in perpetuating the unhealthy dynamic and his fundamental lack of coping mechanisms. The escalating intensity—from pleading to threats, from desire to rejection—reflects a man spiraling out of control, desperately seeking validation or escape within a relationship that ultimately offers neither. Ultimately, “Goodbyes” is a brutally honest portrayal of emotional paralysis and the seductive allure of self-sabotage, delivered with Post Malone’s signature blend of vulnerability and dark humor.
