Goodbye to the Girl
Farewell Symphony: Embracing Goodbye's Echo
Lyrics
Paint another picture black and blue
Expressing the creation of a negative or dark portrayal.
Take another moment, one or two
Taking additional moments to cope or reflect.
Just to get over you
Struggling to move on from the person.
When did all the gold around us rust?
Questioning when the goodness faded away.
Turning all the love we had to dust
Describing the deterioration of love into nothingness.
It took the best of you
Highlighting the impact on the person, taking away their best.
It took the best of you
-Oh I've got nowhere to hide
Feeling exposed and without refuge.
I'd say my goodbye to the girl
Preparing to bid farewell to the person.
I'm leaning on the edge
Expressing a sense of standing at a precipice, ready to let go or take a drastic step.
I'm jumping off the ledge
-Take another picture off the wall
Removing reminders of the past.
Just another moment, watch it fall
Witnessing the downfall of something cherished.
Into the ocean blue
Symbolizing the loss or dissolution into the unknown.
Take a look at where we used to be
Reflecting on the current state of being adrift, without direction.
Now I'm just a vessel lost at see
-I can't get over you
Expressing difficulty in moving past the person and the relationship.
I don't know what to do
-Oh I've got nowhere to hide
Reiterating the lack of a safe haven or escape.
I'd say my goodbye to the girl
-I'm leaning on the edge
Repeating the willingness or decision to say goodbye.
I'm jumping off the ledge
-Watching the night do what
Contrasting the limitations of light with the possibilities of the night.
The light never could
Seeing the night fulfill what daylight cannot.
So tell me I'm crazy
Questioning sanity but acknowledging it won't change the situation.
It's not gonna save me
Realizing that being deemed crazy won't alter the circumstances.
From holding my breath
Feeling like holding onto hope despite impending disappointment.
'Til the lines burn
Continuing despite the pain until reaching a breaking point.
'Cause I've got nowhere to hide
Repeated determination to bid farewell.
I'd say my goodbye to the girl
-Oh, goodbye to the girl
Emphasizing the farewell to the person and the world they knew together.
Paint another picture black and blue
Finalizing the goodbye.
Take another moment, one or two
-Oh I've got nowhere to hide
-I'd say my goodbye to the girl
-I'm leaning on the edge
-I'm jumping off the ledge
-Watching the night do what
-The light never could
-So tell me I'm crazy
-It's not gonna save me
-From holding my breath
-'Til the lines burn
-'Cause I've got nowhere to hide
-I'd say my goodbye to the girl
-And goodbye to the world
-Oh, goodbye to the world
