Sad Goodbyes

So many lovers
So many mistakes
Sad goodbyes
Bad goodbyes.

Hello's nothing
In the grand scheme
Nothing but fresh meat

Meeting strangers
Over a glass or two
Of forgetfulness
In strange bars

Looking for love
Grasping at the unobtainable

Smiling through tears
When morning arrives

Pretending meaningless affection
Was meaningful
Or meaningful affection
Was meaningless
Depending on circumstances

Brushing away helpless anger
Saying goodbye to what
Never could have been
