Say Goodbye
Embracing Solitude: Cheap Trick's Poignant Goodbye
Lyrics
How does it feel to be better
Questioning the experience of improvement or progress
How does it feel to be on your own
Exploring the emotions of solitude and independence
Oh tell me why did you take the time
Curiosity about the motivation behind investing time
To tell me that you came to say goodbye
Referencing a message received about parting ways
Everybody wants to laugh
Highlighting the desire for laughter in tough times
When you feel bad
Observing the common inclination to seek joy during hardship
Seems like the only way when the nights won't pass
Suggesting laughter as a coping mechanism for sleepless nights
When you're so sad
Acknowledging sadness as a prevalent emotion
If you can't go back
Expressing the impossibility of returning to a previous state
And you can't look down
Highlighting the inability to face or confront certain realities
How does it feel to be better
Revisiting the theme of improvement or progress
How does it feel to be on your own
Reflecting on the experience of being independent
Oh tell me why did you take the time
Questioning the purpose behind conveying a farewell
To tell me that you came to say goodbye
Recalling a message or action indicating a goodbye
Everything comes to mind
Noting the emergence of various thoughts or memories
It's a breakdown
Describing a situation or emotional state as breaking down
The way things seem to slide
Portraying a sense of things slipping or deteriorating
It's a free fall
Comparing a challenging situation to a free fall
When you're so sad
Reiterating the presence of sadness as an emotion
If you can't go back
Highlighting the inability to reverse or revisit the past
And you can't look down
Emphasizing the difficulty in facing certain truths
How does it feel to be better
Revisiting the theme of improved or changed circumstances
How does it feel to be on your own
Reflecting on the experience of being alone or independent
Oh tell me why did you take the time
Questioning the motivation behind a farewell message
Walk away, tell those lies
Directing someone to walk away and leave with deceitful statements
Why did you waste your time
Expressing confusion or disappointment about wasted time
To tell me that you came to say goodbye
Recalling the communication of the intention to say goodbye
