I'd say: "She has said goodbye too many times before."
Because it still has relevance for the present, it should be present perfect.
Unless if course it's about finally quitting, then the past tense makes sense.
- Lio 3y ago> "She has said goodbye too many times before." Yeah, that sounds OK. Probably better than my original suggestion. Or even the contracted "She's said goodbye too many times before".
- jameshart 3y agoI always heard the lyric as ‘she’s said goodbye..’, which both scans and makes more grammatical sense. Also matches the tense of the previous line - ‘this love has taken its toll..’
