Go and Say Goodbye
Unveiling Heartache: Confronting Regret in Richie Furay's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
You ask me to read this letter
You request me to read a letter
That you wrote the night before
Written the night before
And you really should know better
Expressing disapproval as you should have known better
'Cause she's worth a whole lot more
Because she holds significant value
Brother, you know you can't run away and hide
Brother, acknowledging that avoiding the situation won't work
Is it you don't want to see her cries, is that why
Questioning whether it's because you can't bear to witness her tears
You won't go and say goodbye
You refuse to go and bid farewell
Then you said the fault was yours
Claiming the fault lies with you
When you really were to blame
Despite actually being responsible
'Twas as if to close the doors
As if closing doors and hiding in shame
And to hide away in shame
Brother, understanding that avoidance won't solve the issue
Brother, you know you can't run away and hide
Questioning if it's because you can't bear to witness her tears
Is it you don't want to see her cries, is that why
Refusing to go and say goodbye
You won't go and say goodbye
Expressing confusion and questioning
Yes, and why, tell me why
Posing the question of why, why can't you see it's wrong
Can't you see that it's not right
Labeling it as a lie, advising against hiding sorrow
It's a lie, it's a lie
Emphasizing not to conceal pain in the night
Don't hide your sorrow in the night
Brother, reiterating that avoidance won't resolve the situation
Brother, you know you can't run away and hide
Questioning whether it's because you can't bear to witness her tears
Is it you don't want to see her cries, is that why
Refusing to go and say goodbye
You won't go and say goodbye
Highlighting that the pain is doubly intense
And you know the pain is double
But for her, it's even more agonizing
But for her it's even worse
Emphasizing the necessity to face her despite the trouble
You must face her with the trouble
Even though it feels like a curse
'Though it's hurting like a curse
Brother, reiterating that avoidance won't resolve the situation
Brother, you know you can't run away and hide
Questioning whether it's because you can't bear to witness her tears
Is it you don't want to see her cries, is that why
Refusing to go and say
You won't go and say
Brother, reiterating that avoidance won't resolve the situation
Brother, you know you can't run away and hide
Questioning whether it's because you can't bear to witness her tears
Is it you don't want to see her cries, is that why
Refusing to go and say
You won't go and say
Expressing determination to go and say goodbye
Gonna go and say, gonna go and say goodbye
Repeating the resolve to go and say goodbye
