Lyrics
Goodbye never felt so bad
Expressing the contradictory emotions of feeling bad about saying goodbye.
Show me your smile
Asking the other person to show a genuine smile.
Mine's got a crack in it
Acknowledging a flaw or difficulty in one's own smile.
Hold me a while
Requesting to be held for a while.
And a little while more
Desiring an extended moment of comfort.
Tell me again, this is not forever
Seeking reassurance that the separation is not permanent.
Your skin on my skin, walk me to the door
Describing a close physical connection before parting.
I'm caving in, tryin' not to buckle
Feeling emotionally overwhelmed and trying to resist breaking down.
Down to the floor
Struggling to maintain composure and not collapse emotionally.
Goodbye never felt so bad
Reiterating the emotional impact of saying goodbye.
Just as soon as you're gone
Expressing the immediate longing for the person after they're gone.
I want you back, darling, I know
Desiring the return of the person despite the initial farewell.
We said no tears
Recalling an agreement not to shed tears during the parting.
Said no need to be sad
Emphasizing the intention to avoid sadness during separation.
But goodbye never felt so bad
Contrasting the difficulty of saying goodbye with the initial agreement.
It hits like a train
Describing the emotional impact as powerful and inevitable.
Soft as we might say it
Acknowledging the difficulty of expressing the emotional pain.
A shot to the brain
Comparing the emotional impact to a sudden and intense shock.
It cuts to the core
Indicating that the emotional pain reaches the deepest part of one's being.
And even though we go down together
Highlighting a commitment to face challenges together, even if physically apart.
It's opposite corners of the world
Describing a significant distance between two individuals.
I don't wanna know this pain forever
Expressing a desire for the pain to be temporary but a commitment to the relationship.
But I wanna be yours, ah
Expressing a strong desire to be a part of the other person's life.
And goodbye never felt so bad
