I'd Just as Soon Go
Farewell to a Fading Love: Embracing the Exit
Lyrics
You say you want to talk it over
You express a desire to discuss our relationship.
Want to try again
Want to give our love another chance.
But there's no way of workin' out
Despite the attempt, there's no solution for our troubled love.
This love that we're not in
Acknowledging that we are not currently in love.
We could talk and talk and accomplish nothin'
Endless talking hasn't resolved anything in the past.
We've tried it all before
We've exhausted various attempts before.
It's time somebody did some walkin'
It's time for one of us to make a decision and take action.
And I can see the door
I can sense the inevitability of parting, symbolized by the door.
So I'd just as soon go
I would prefer to leave.
I'd just as soon say goodbye
Opting to say goodbye rather than prolong the agony.
There's no reason to prolong
No need to drag out what should naturally come to an end.
What we should just let die
Suggesting that we should let the dying relationship go.
And I'd just as soon stop
Expressing a desire to stop the ongoing struggle.
I'd just as soon end the madness
Prefer to end the madness that the relationship has become.
Knowin' what I know
Considering the knowledge of the situation, ending it seems best.
I'd just as soon go
Reiterating the preference to leave.
It's not an easy thing to do
Leaving is a difficult decision.
Leavin' seldom ever is
Leaving is rarely an easy choice.
But stayin' just to see us through
Staying just for the sake of seeing it through is not a fulfilling way to live.
Just ain't no way to live
Continuing the relationship for the sake of perseverance is unsustainable.
It's hard for you to understand
It's challenging for you to comprehend, but separation is for the best.
But we're better off this way
Believing that we are better off apart.
I can't fake it one more night
Expressing an inability to pretend any longer.
Or take it one more day
Unable to endure another night or day in the relationship.
So I'd just as soon go
Reiterating the preference to leave.
I'd just as soon say goodbye
Choosing to say goodbye definitively.
There's no reason to prolong
No reason to prolong the inevitable end.
What we should just let die
Emphasizing the need to let the dying relationship end.
And I'd just as soon stop
Expressing a desire to stop the ongoing struggle.
I'd just as soon end the madness
Preferring to end the chaotic situation the relationship has become.
Knowin' what I know
Considering the knowledge of the situation, ending it seems best.
I'd just as soon go
Reiterating the preference to leave.
Knowin' what I know
Highlighting the knowledge that reinforces the decision to leave.
I'd just as soon go
Finalizing the decision to leave based on the accumulated knowledge.
