If We Say Goodbye
Navigating Heartbreak: George Pelham's Emotional Journey in 'If We Say Goodbye'
Lyrics
IF WE SAY GOODBYE
The contemplation of parting ways
It’s taking me over, I feel it more and more every day
Feeling overwhelmed, increasing with each passing day
By pulling you closer, I only seem to push you away
Attempting closeness but inadvertently creating distance
People keep on telling me I’m acting like someone I’m not
External opinions on a perceived change in behavior
They say I’ve been giving more than I’ve got
Accusations of giving more than receiving
Every night is sleepless
Nights filled with restlessness
Every day is hard
Daily struggles and challenges
Nothing is as hopeless as the way things are
A sense of hopelessness in the current situation
But I don’t want to lose you
Expressing a desire to maintain the relationship
I would rather die
Strong emotional statement, preferring death over separation
How can I be with you if we say goodbye
Questioning the possibility of being together after parting
If we say goodbye
Repetition emphasizing the weight of the potential farewell
If we say goodbye
-You don’t need me to tell you what you already know
Acknowledging partner's awareness of the situation
But if this was easy, we’d have broken up long ago
Highlighting the difficulty of the relationship
People keep on saying they don’t like the person I’ve become
External criticism of perceived negative personal changes
They tell me it’s over, the damage is done
Indicating a belief that the relationship is irreparable
Every night is sleepless
Continued restlessness during the night
Every day is hard
Daily struggles persist
Nothing is as hopeless as the way things are
Reiteration of the seemingly hopeless nature of the situation
But I don’t want to lose you
Reaffirming the desire to keep the relationship intact
I would rather die
Reiterating the extreme emotional impact of potential separation
How can I be with you if we say goodbye
Repeating the question of how to continue the relationship after goodbye
If we say goodbye
Emphasizing the significance of saying goodbye
If we say goodbye
-It will be for the best
Expressing a belief that separation is in the best interest
Even though I can’t imagine it yet
Anticipating difficulty in imagining life without the partner
I just hope you can forgive and forget whatever I have done
Hoping for forgiveness and the ability to move on from past actions
I love you more than anyone
Expressing deep love for the partner
Every night is sleepless
Restlessness persists in the nightly hours
Every day is hard
Daily challenges continue
Nothing is as hopeless as the way things are
Reiteration of the seemingly hopeless nature of the situation
But I don’t want to lose you
Reaffirming the desire to keep the relationship intact
I would rather die
Reiterating the extreme emotional impact of potential separation
How can I be with you if we say goodbye
Repeating the question of how to continue the relationship after goodbye
If we say goodbye
Emphasizing the significance of saying goodbye
If we say goodbye
-If we say goodbye
-If we say goodbye
Final repetition underlining the weight of the decision
