Lyrics
Hey goodbye, I guess I messed up again
Expressing regret for making a mistake and causing problems again.
Ihought I'd change, but still I'm the way I am
Despite intending to change, the person acknowledges that they remain unchanged.
I know I'll always be the same and I accept the blame
Acceptance of personal responsibility for being consistently the same and causing issues.
For the sorry state that I'm in
Taking responsibility for the current undesirable situation.
Hey goodbye, there's no use in trying
Realizing the futility of trying to salvage the relationship.
Cause if I stay, there's no end to the crying
Choosing to leave as a way to prevent prolonged sadness and tears.
She deserves way more so I'm walking out the door
Recognizing the partner's worth and deciding to end the relationship for their benefit.
For once I'll be kind and I'll make up her mind
Deciding to be considerate by making the decision for the partner instead of prolonging the pain.
She's so sick of me begging forgiveness
Acknowledging that constant pleas for forgiveness have become tiresome for the partner.
Cause you and I, we both know I did this
Admitting wrongdoing, recognizing the shared knowledge of the mistake.
I'm jaded, I'm hated
Expressing feelings of bitterness and being disliked.
You're the only friend of mine
Acknowledging the listener as the only supportive friend.
Pleased to meet you, hello goodbye
Formally greeting the listener with a blend of both "hello" and "goodbye."
Hey goodbye let's open a bottle
Suggesting a farewell gesture by opening a bottle and avoiding thoughts of a bleak future.
And forget about an empty tomorrow
Encouraging a focus on the present moment and avoiding thoughts of an uncertain future.
It's hard to face the truth, that it's just me and you
Acknowledging the difficulty of facing the truth that the relationship is now just between two people.
For once I did what's right and I made up her mind
Claiming to have done the right thing by deciding for the partner's benefit.
Oh I wish I was a better man
Expressing a desire to be a better person, implying self-reflection and regret.
Oh but I'm stuck with goodbye as I am
Feeling trapped with the outcome of saying goodbye as the person currently is.
I'm jaded, I'm hated
Reiterating feelings of bitterness and being disliked.
You're the only friend of mine
Reaffirming the listener as the only friend in this difficult situation.
