Lyrics

"It's time to go, this is goodbye"

Expressing a farewell or departure.

She said "does it ever get easier to live like this"

Asking if enduring this way of life becomes less difficult.

And kiss the cheek

Gesture of affection, likely a goodbye kiss.

Well I can't kiss you anymore

Unable to show physical affection anymore.

And I, I would honestly love you now

Expressing genuine affection at present.

But I would lovingly let you down

Willing to disappoint or let the other person down despite caring.


Oh I have the hardest time resisting you

Struggling greatly to resist the other person.

And oh if you

Questioning if the other person shares similar feelings.

If you feel the same way then how can we be friends

How can a friendship persist if the feelings are mutual?

He's right you know

Confirmation or agreement with an unnamed male figure.


We can't go on like this

Recognition that the current situation is unsustainable.

And oh I try to give you everything

Striving to offer everything in the relationship.

And if I fail well then I failed

Even if failure occurs, attempting is acknowledged.

But at least I gave you something

Having provided something despite potential failure.


I could put my trust in giving up the heart

Willingness to invest trust by giving up the heart, taking a risk.

It makes the difference

Emphasizing the significance of the sacrifice.

And how can you afford to settle down

Questioning the feasibility of settling down when conflicted.

When I, I would promise to love you now

Expressing present love but the likelihood of future disappointment.

But I would lovingly let you down

Ready to disappoint despite promising affection.


Oh I have the hardest time resisting you

Experiencing immense difficulty in resisting the other person.

And oh if you

Asking if the other person shares similar feelings of resistance.

If you feel the same way then how can we be friends

Questioning the possibility of friendship if feelings align.

He's right you know, we can't go on like this

Reiteration that the current situation is unsustainable.


And oh I try to give you everything

Continued efforts to give everything in the relationship.

And if I fail well then I failed

Acknowledging potential failure in giving everything.

But at least I gave you something

Despite possible failure, having provided something significant.


(it's better than silence, give me one good reason)

Choosing interaction over complete silence, seeking a reason to continue.


It's better than silence

Preferable to have interaction than complete silence.

Give me one good reason

Requesting a convincing reason to avoid silence.

To leave this in silence

Emphasizing the importance of not leaving things unsaid.

No you don't have a good reason

Asserting the lack of a valid reason to maintain silence.


If you feel the same way then how can we be friends

Reiterating the challenge of maintaining a friendship with mutual feelings.

He's right you know, we can't go on like this

Reaffirmation that the current situation is unsustainable.

And oh I try to give you everything

Continued effort to provide everything despite potential failure.

And if I fail well then I failed

Acknowledging the possibility of failure in giving everything.

But at least I gave you something

Having provided something meaningful despite potential failure.


It's better than silence

Emphasizing that any form of communication is better than silence.

It's better than silence

Reiteration of the sentiment that communication is preferable to silence.
