Goodbye
Farewell Echoes: Love's Bittersweet Embrace
Lyrics
I'll never forget you
I will never forget you.
I'll never forget you
Reiteration of the commitment to remember the person.
I'll never forget how we promised one day
We promised each other at some point.
To love one another forever that way
The promise was to love each other forever.
We said we'd never say
We vowed never to say goodbye.
Good-bye
Despite the promise, the farewell is happening now.
But that was long ago
Reflecting on a distant past when the promise was made.
Now you've forgotten, I know
Acknowledging that the other person has forgotten the promise.
No use to wonder why
No need to question why things have changed.
Let's say farewell with a sigh
Suggesting a farewell with a sigh, accepting the end of love.
Let love die
Expressing the idea that love should be allowed to die.
But we'll go on living
Despite the end of the romantic relationship, life goes on.
Our own way of living
Emphasizing the continuation of individual lives.
So you take the high road
Suggesting divergent paths, possibly indicating separate futures.
And I'll take the low
Choosing different ways forward.
It's time that we parted
It's time to part ways, implying it's for the best.
It's much better so
Asserting that the separation is a preferable outcome.
But kiss me as you go
A final kiss before parting.
Good-bye
A final acknowledgment of the goodbye.
