Forever Goodbye
Eternal Echoes: Unraveling Heartbreak in Billie Flynn's Melody
Lyrics
There’s a bench by the sea where I can’t seem to go without you here,
Unable to visit a particular bench near the sea without the presence of the person being thought of.
I’m just picturing you there,
The individual imagines the person at that specific location watching fireworks.
Watching fireworks by the sea.
Visualizing sharing a moment together, watching fireworks by the sea.
There’s a smell of Jack Daniels and coke brings a tear to my eye now,
The scent of a specific drink triggers emotions, evoking memories linked to the past.
Takes me back to the summer,
Recalling a past summer, reliving certain moments associated with the mentioned drink.
Just for a moment you’re here with me.
Feeling the presence of the person briefly during recollection.
I’ve got nothing left to lose,
Sense of having nothing more to risk or give up.
If loving you, is a losing game.
Expressing that being in love with the individual is like participating in a game where losing is inevitable.
And I’m losing faith,
Losing confidence or trust, especially regarding the outcome of their relationship.
That all our mistakes, lead us to where we should be
Doubting the idea that past errors or choices would lead to a desirable future.
You’re gone for good, it’s sinking in slowly.
Gradually comprehending the permanent absence of the person.
I’ve said goodbye so many times, the words lost all meaning to me.
Repetition of goodbyes has made the phrase devoid of emotional significance.
I know you’ll be fine, and I will try to be.
Believing that the person will be okay and striving to also cope.
But I’m used to goodnight meaning I’ll see you later, so how could this be.
Struggling to accept that parting ways is final, contrary to previous experiences.
How could this time,
Questioning the permanence of the current separation.
Be forever goodbye?
Pondering why this farewell seems eternal.
There’s a look in the eyes of a friend when they mention your name,
Observing a certain expression in a friend's eyes when the person's name is brought up, reminiscent of pain.
Like they’re reminding me of pain,
Feeling as though others believe the individual should let go of the pain associated with the person.
Like I’d ever let it go.
Declaring an intent to hold onto the memories despite suggestions otherwise.
There’s a house in the trees, I might never go back there again.
Considering not revisiting a specific house located amidst trees due to the memories tied to it.
Though I’ve stood at the edge, hearing echoes of a life we let go.
Hearing echoes of a life left behind while standing at a distance from it.
You’re gone for good, it’s sinking in slowly.
Gradually accepting the permanent absence of the person.
I’ve said goodbye so many times, the words lost all meaning to me.
Repeated farewells have rendered the phrase emotionally empty.
I know you’ll be fine, and I will try to be.
Belief in the person's ability to move forward and an intention to try to do the same.
But I’m used to goodnight meaning I’ll see you later, so how could this be.
Struggling to accept the finality of the departure, contrary to past experiences.
How could this time,
Questioning why this parting feels everlasting.
Be forever goodbye?
Reflecting on the seemingly permanent nature of this goodbye.
How could this time,
Reiterating the pondering about the eternal aspect of this farewell.
Be forever goodbye?
Continuing to question the enduring nature of this separation.
