Lyrics
This has got to be the saddest day of my life
This is the saddest day of the speaker's life.
I called you here today for a bit of bad news
The speaker has bad news to share and has called the other person for this purpose.
I won't be able to see you any more
The speaker won't be able to continue the relationship due to obligations.
Because of my obligations
The reason for ending the relationship is because of the speaker's responsibilities.
And the ties that you have
Reference to emotional connections or commitments that the other person has.
We've been meeting here every day
They have been meeting regularly, implying an ongoing relationship.
And since this is our last date together
Acknowledgment that this is their last meeting.
I want to hold you just one more time
The speaker wants to share a final embrace before parting.
When you turn and walk away
As the other person leaves, the speaker asks them not to look back.
Don't look back I want to remember you just like this
The speaker wants to remember the other person as they are in that moment.
Let's just kiss
Suggesting that a kiss would be a fitting farewell.
And say goodbye
The final suggestion to kiss and say goodbye, implying the end of the relationship.
I had to meet you here today
The speaker had to meet the other person to convey something important.
There's just so many things to say
There are many things the speaker wants to express.
Please don't stop me till I'm through
Requesting not to be interrupted until the speaker has finished speaking.
This is something I hate to do
Expressing dislike for the difficult task at hand.
We've been meeting here so long
They have been meeting for an extended period, acknowledging the depth of the relationship.
I guess what we done was wrong
Admitting that their actions may have been morally wrong.
Please, darling, don't you cry
Asking the other person not to cry during this difficult moment.
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
Reiterating the suggestion to kiss and say goodbye as a way to end things.
Many months have passed us by
Highlighting the passage of time and the impending separation.
I'm gonna miss you I can't lie
Expressing genuine feelings of missing the other person.
I've got ties and so do you
Mentioning other commitments (ties) that both parties have.
I just think this is the thing to do
The speaker believes ending the relationship is the right thing to do.
It's gonna hurt me I can't lie
Acknowledging that the decision will cause pain to the speaker.
Maybe you'll meet another guy
Suggesting that the other person may find someone else in the future.
Understand me won't you try, try, try
Requesting understanding from the other person.
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
Reiterating the suggestion to kiss and say goodbye as a respectful farewell.
