Say Goodbye
Bidding Farewell: Embracing Change & Moving On
Lyrics
I ask no questions
I refrain from asking questions
Get no replies
I receive no responses
This life we're living
Commenting on the deceptive nature of the life being lived
So full of lies
Life is filled with falsehoods
I won't be laughing
I won't find amusement
No need to cry
No need for tears
The time has come to say goodbye
It's time to bid farewell
You were my lover
You were both my lover and friend
You were my friend
Acknowledging the inevitable end of the relationship
I always knew it would have to end
Anticipating the separation
Can't save each other
Unable to save each other
No reason why
No apparent reason for the end
The time has come to say goodbye
It's time to say goodbye
Say goodbye
Reiteration of the need to say goodbye
Say goodbye
Repetition emphasizing the farewell
We had some good times
Recollection of positive moments
Forget the bad
Ignoring the negative aspects
Always remember the fun we had
Emphasizing the importance of remembering the joy
But now I'm leaving
Expressing the departure
Don't ask me why
Discouraging inquiries about the reason for leaving
The time has come to say good bye
It's time to say goodbye
I've thought it over
Contemplating the decision
Won't change my mind
Not changing one's mind
And I've decided to leave the past behind
Choosing to move on from the past
I'm like a bird now
Metaphorically likening oneself to a bird ready to fly
I've got to fly
Feeling the need to take flight
The time has come to say goodbye
It's time to say goodbye
Say goodbye
Repeating the necessity of saying goodbye
Say goodbye
Emphasizing the farewell through repetition
Say goodbye
Continuing to stress the act of saying goodbye
Say goodbye
Reiteration of the farewell
Don't mean to hurt you
Expressing no intention to cause harm
I never could
Asserting the inability to hurt
I always try to do the things I think I should
Always attempting to do what is considered right
But now we're history
Stating that the relationship is now in the past
And it won't pass me by
Not allowing the history to be forgotten
The time has come to say goodbye
It's time to say goodbye
I ask no questions
Repetition of refraining from asking questions
Get no replies
Reiteration of receiving no replies
This life we're living
Reiteration of the deceptive nature of life
So full of lies
Reiteration of life being filled with lies
I won't be laughing
Reiteration of not finding amusement
No need to cry
Reiteration of no need for tears
The time has come to say goodbye
It's time to say goodbye
Say goodbye
Repetition emphasizing the need to say goodbye
Say goodbye
Continued emphasis on the act of saying goodbye
Say goodbye
Final repetition of the farewell
