Why Goodbye
Heartache's Melody: Unraveling the Pain in Steve Wariner's 'Why Goodbye'
Lyrics
I look out my window to wish upon my star
I gaze out of my window to make a wish upon my star
And dig out those old memories that's hidden in my heart
I reminisce about old memories buried within my heart
But the stars ain't coming out tonight, dark clouds win again
However, the stars are not visible tonight; dark clouds prevail
'Cause there's another lonely night movin' in
Another lonely night is approaching as a result
Why goodbye, why goodbye
Questioning the reason for parting, asking "why goodbye"
Am I blue, my oh my
Expressing sadness, wondering if I am feeling blue
You could've said you loved me, you could have even lied
You had the option to confess your love, even if insincere
So why goodbye, why goodbye
Repeating the question, pondering the necessity of saying goodbye
On the day I met you there was love light in your eyes
Recalling the day we met, when love was evident in your eyes
Yesterday you walked away and didn't even cry
Contrasting that with the present, where you walked away without shedding a tear
And as I sit alone tonight and think of all we had
Sitting alone and reflecting on the past, feeling the weight of our shared history
Your leavin' me is leavin' me so sad
Your departure is causing deep sadness and emotional distress
Why goodbye, why goodbye
Reiterating the question of why goodbye, seeking understanding
Am I blue, my oh my
Expressing emotional turmoil, questioning if I am indeed feeling blue
You could've said you loved me, you could have even lied
Reflecting on the missed opportunity for you to declare love, even if insincerely
So why goodbye, why goodbye
Repeating the inquiry about the necessity of bidding farewell
Why goodbye
You could've said you loved me, you could have even lied
Repeating the question about parting, emphasizing the need for an explanation
Why goodbye, why goodbye
Further questioning the reason behind saying goodbye
It's just another lonely night, why goodbye
Describing the night as just another lonely one, questioning the necessity of farewell
Why goodbye, why goodbye
It's just another lonely night, why goodbye
Labeling the night as another lonely one, reiterating the question of why goodbye
