Never Got To Say Goodbye
Unfinished Endings: The Unspoken Goodbye
Lyrics
It's not that I'm not over you, but we still feel unfinished to me
Expressing that the speaker is not completely over the person, feeling a sense of unfinished business.
It's not that I want you back, but I'll be honest, I can feel something missing
Acknowledging the absence or void left after the relationship, without necessarily wanting the person back.
The way that we ended was so uneventful
Describing the uneventful nature of the relationship's ending.
Maybe I needed a moment to cry
Suggesting a need for emotional release or a moment of vulnerability.
We never got to say goodbye.
Expressing regret and sorrow for not having the opportunity to bid farewell.
Head on your shoulder, hand on thigh.
Recalling physical closeness and intimacy.
We were meant to be together
Highlighting a belief in the compatibility of the speaker and the person.
But I'm glad that's it over
Expressing relief that the relationship is over despite the emotional connection.
And we never got to say goodbye
Reiterating the absence of a proper goodbye and closure.
Say goodbye
Emphasizing the unfulfilled act of saying goodbye.
The night you finally called to end it, I have never been more relieved
Describing a sense of relief when the person finally ended the relationship.
But I am finally done pretending that I didn't need a moment to grieve
Acknowledging the need for grieving and processing emotions after the breakup.
With you beside me after all the fighting
Reflecting on the potential for reconciliation after the fights.
We could have taken a little more time
Expressing a wish for more time to resolve issues before the breakup.
We never got to say goodbye.
Reiterating the absence of a proper goodbye and expressing regret.
