Imagine sitting on your couch, post-breakup, with a pint of ice cream and Sabrina Carpenter’s “Goodbye” blasting through your speakers. This track from her seventh studio album Man’s Best Friend is your new anthem for moving on with a smirk. Sabrina’s in full savage mode here, serving up sharp lyrics like “Did you forget that it was you who said goodbye?” with that sugary pop voice we loved in Short N’ Sweet tracks like “Taste” or “Espresso.”
The song’s a glittery middle finger to an ex who thought he could walk out and still play the victim, mixing heartbreak with biting humor—think “Sayonara, adiós” and “Forgive my French, but, fuck you, ta-ta.” It’s catchy, it’s bold, and it’s got that perfect Sabrina blend of vulnerability and don’t-mess-with-me energy. If you’re into pop that feels like a diary entry with a beat, this one’s for you. Scroll down for the Goodbye lyrics and vibe with the sass. More Man’s Best Friend tracks are coming to keep you hooked!

Lyrics of Goodbye by Sabrina Carpenter
[Verse 1]
Broke My Heart On Saturday
Guess Overnight Your Feelings Changed
And I Have Cried So Much I Almost Fainted (Uh-huh, Uh-huh)
To Show You Just How Much It Hurts
I Wish I Had A Gun Or Words
If Somethin’ Got Lost In Communication (Uh-huh, Uh-huh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, Sayonara, Adiós
You’re Not Bilingual, But You Should Know
[Chorus]
Goodbye Means That You’re Losing Me For Life
Can’t Call It Love, Then Call It Quits
Can’t Shoot Me Down, Then Shoot The Shit
Did You Forget That It Was You Who Said Goodbye?
So You Don’t Get To Be The One Who Cries
Can’t Have Your Cake And Eat It Too
By Walking Out, That Means You Choose Goodbye
[Verse 2]
The Feeling So Specific
Wanna Punch You Every Other Minute, Oh
You Used To Love My Ass, Now, Baby,
You Won’t See It Anymore (Uh-huh, Uh-huh)
We’ll Just Give It Three Weeks, Buddy
Gonna Wake Up From Your Coma, Honey, Ooh
And That’s When You’ll Be Holding Hokey Flowers,
Standing At My Door (Uh-huh, Uh-huh)
[Pre-Chorus]
But I’ll Say, “Arrivederci, Au Revoir”
Forgive My French, But, Fuck You, Ta-ta
[Chorus]
Goodbye Means That You’re Losing Me For Life
Can’t Call It Love, Then Call It Quits
Can’t Shoot Me Down, Then Shoot The Shit
Did You Forget That It Was You Who Said Goodbye?
(Did You Forget That It Was You Who Said Goodbye?)
So You Don’t Get To Be The One Who Cries
Can’t Have Your Cake And Eat It Too
By Walking Out, That Means You Choose Goodbye
[Bridge]
Sayonara, Adiós
On The Flip Side, Cheerio
Por Siempre Te Amo, Wait, No
Shit, When Did You Get Here?
Go Put On Some Clothes
[Chorus]
Goodbye Means That You’re Losing Me For Life
Can’t Call It Love, Then Call It Quits
Can’t Shoot Me Down, Then Shoot The Shit
Did You Forget That It Was You Who Said Goodbye?
(Did You Forget That It Was You Who Said Goodbye?)
So You Don’t Get To Be The One Who Cries
Can’t Have Your Cake And Eat It Too
By Walking Out, That Means You Choose Goodbye
[Outro]
Goodbye
Get Home Safe
