Let's Not Say Goodbye Again
Love's Redemption: A Tale of Second Chances
Lyrics
A broken bottle night
A chaotic and turbulent evening
A knockdown, dragout fight
An intense, physically aggressive confrontation
She was screamin', cryin' about the lyin'
The partner was loudly expressing distress and accusing the other of lying
She said, "you're not even tryin'."
Expressing dissatisfaction with the lack of effort in the relationship
So I took off to be alone
The narrator left to be by themselves
She said, "you don't have to come back home."
Partner implying the narrator doesn't have to return home
It's funny how the truth sounds different
Perception of truth varies
You're hangin' on to every word
The partner is attentive to every spoken word
Do you remember when I said I love you?
Recollection of a past expression of love
How long has it been?
Questioning the duration since that expression
Well, I don't want this to end
Desire to not end the relationship
Let's not say goodbye again
Proposal to avoid saying farewell once more
Who I used to be
Personal reflection on a changed self
Don't look the same to me
Realization of personal transformation
I was loud and lazy, damn near crazy
Previous behavior described negatively
You got bored and you tried to change me
Partner's attempt to alter the narrator
And I stepped up and we had it out
Stepping up to confront issues in the relationship
I'm not sure what the hell we're fightin' about
Uncertainty about the cause of their ongoing arguments
It's funny how the truth sounds different
Recognition of subjective truth
You're hangin' on to every word
Partner's attentiveness to words spoken
Do you remember when I said I love you?
Recollection of a past declaration of love
How long has it been?
Querying the duration since that declaration
Well, I don't want this to end
Expressing a desire to continue the relationship
Let's not say goodbye again
Advocating against parting ways again
Time to time I pay the cost
Occasionally experiencing consequences
Maybe it's time you realize what you lost
Encouraging the partner to recognize their losses
It's funny how the truth sounds different
Recognition of differing perceptions of truth
You're hangin' on to every word
Partner's attentiveness to spoken words
Do you remember when I said I love you?
Recollection of past love expression
How long has it been?
Querying the duration since that expression
How long has it been?
Reiteration of the query regarding the duration since the expression of love
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Expression without clear meaning (Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah)
How long has it been?
Reiteration of the question about the duration since the expression of love
Well, I don't want this to end
Expressing a desire to avoid ending the relationship
Now, let's not say goodbye again
Proposal to refrain from saying goodbye again
