Say Goodbye
Finding Closure: Reflecting on Lost Love
Lyrics
So you face yesterday
Reflecting on the past.
Thinking on the days of old
Nostalgia for earlier times.
And the price that we paid
Contemplating the cost of a failed love.
For a love we couldn't hold
Regret over the inability to maintain the love.
I let you slip away
Expressing powerlessness in preventing the separation.
There was nothing I could do
Recalling a distant event when no action could change the outcome.
That was so long ago, yeah
Highlighting the considerable time elapsed since the separation.
Still I often think of you
Continued thoughts about the past love.
I fall down, I get up
Enduring challenges and overcoming setbacks.
And I've always had to fight
Emphasizing a persistent need to confront difficulties.
Everything that was wrong
Struggling against wrongs for the sake of what is right.
For the things that were right
Fighting for the things that matter.
Now I finally found my way
Finding clarity and purpose in the present.
Now I know just what to do
Understanding the right course of action.
Once you said goodbye to me, yeah
Referencing a past farewell from the other person.
Now I say goodbye to you
Reciprocal decision to say goodbye.
It's so hard to find your way
Expressing the difficulty of navigating life's challenges.
When the lies come around
Dealing with deception and falsehoods.
Still it happens everyday
Acknowledging the persistence of challenges.
So don't let it get you down
Encouragement to stay resilient in the face of difficulties.
Just a time within a time
Describing a period nested within another period.
Just a scheme within a scheme
Referring to a plan embedded within a larger plan.
A little world within a world
Depicting a small world existing within a bigger one.
Yes, a dream, just a dream
Recognizing a dream as just that - a dream.
Now I finally found my way
Reiteration of finding direction in the present.
Now I know just what to do
Confirmation of knowing what to do now.
Once you said goodbye to me, yeah
Recollection of the other person's past farewell.
Now I say goodbye to you
Affirmation of reciprocating the goodbye.
Now I best be on my way
Preparing to depart or move on.
Before the night turns blue
Time-sensitive urgency to leave before something changes.
Once you said goodbye to me, yeah
Recalling the initial farewell from the other person.
And now I say goodbye to you
Finalizing one's own farewell in response.
Once you said goodbye to me, yeah
Reiteration of the other person's past goodbye.
Now I say goodbye to you
Final affirmation of saying goodbye to the other person.
