Now Is The Time To Say Goodbye
Bidding Farewell: Embracing Change Amid Heartbreak
Lyrics
Now the time has come for us to say goodbye
Acknowledging that the time has arrived to part ways
When you walk away, keep on going
Encouraging the person to continue moving forward
Don't look ba-a-ack
Advising not to look back, to avoid seeing the speaker in distress
Don't want you to see me crying
Expressing a desire not to be seen crying by the departing person
'Cause then you wouldn't wanna leave
Concern that the departing person might stay if witnessing tears
And you wanna feel sorry for me
Anticipating sympathy from the departing person
And that would hurt even more
Fearing that such sympathy would intensify the pain
So hurry, be on your way
Urging the person to leave without concern for the speaker's well-being
Don't worry about me, I'll be alright
Assuring that the speaker will manage despite the departure
In this cold world, I'll survive
Expressing determination to survive in a challenging world
Least I try-y-y
Admitting effort in trying to rebuild after devastation
To pick up the pieces of my shattered life
Struggling to piece together a broken life
But when you told me you loved another,
Reacting to the news of the departing person loving someone else
I think I need all the time
Feeling the need for time to process the emotional impact
Oooh--------------------
Vocal expression, possibly signifying emotional distress
The clock ticks on, the hour is drawing near
Highlighting the passage of time as the departure draws closer
But for me, the time would stop
Feeling as though time will stop when the person leaves
When you walk out of here
Emphasizing the impact of the departure on the speaker
Ohhhhhhhh, oh, what will I do then?
Expressing anguish and uncertainty about the future
Oh my darlin', oh my darlin', how will I begin?
Questioning how to start anew after investing everything in the relationship
How do I start my life over when I've given everything I had
Reflecting on the difficulty of rebuilding after giving all to someone who no longer wants the speaker
To that special someone, build my world around him
Having constructed life around the departing person
Then he tells me he doesn't want me, oh
Reacting to the rejection and emotional devastation
How much more can one woman take?
Expressing the overwhelming emotional burden
Walk on, baby
Encouraging the departing person to leave
Leave me but I still let ya, uh
Feeling unable to fully detach despite the departure
Go on, get out of my life
Urging the person to leave the speaker's life
