Goodbye
Farewell to Love: SWEETTALKER's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
I remember back when things were new,
I reminisce about the early days when our relationship was new.
Just strangers in a game for two,
We were once strangers engaged in a two-person game.
Oh, your love was easy,
Your love used to be simple and uncomplicated.
You tried to please me,
You made efforts to please me.
And I’d trade it all for a piece of back then,
I would trade everything for a piece of the past.
But ‘bout the time we both came up for air,
As we both took a break, you decided the relationship wasn't fair.
Decided you were done fighting fair,
You stopped fighting fair, and I continued with consistent love.
I kept it coming with steady loving,
Despite my efforts, it wasn't good enough for you.
No it wasn’t good enough,
I couldn't measure up to the ideal partner in your dreams.
I couldn’t compare to the one,
There's an unattainable standard set by the one inside your dream.
Inside your dream,
I don’t want your love no more,
I no longer desire your love.
Just so tired of the games you play,
Tired of the games you play, I want to end it.
All the time you waste,
All the time spent is wasted.
So goodbye,
A final farewell.
Yeah, I think about it every now and then,
I occasionally think about what could have been.
Think about the way things could’ve been,
Reflecting on the potential outcomes.
I’d still be biting my lip,
If things were different, I'd still be holding on.
Always losing my grip,
Constantly losing control.
Yeah, I said it all,
I've expressed my feelings, and I won't repeat it.
I won’t say it again,
I won't say it again.
Baby, cry,
A plea for you to cry.
Cry,
I don’t want your love no more,
I reject your love.
Just so tired of the games you play,
Frustrated with your games and time wasted.
All the time you waste,
Repeated emphasis on the time wasted.
So believe me when I say,
Asserting that I don't need you.
I don’t need you anyway,
Expressing independence, I don't need you in any way.
Baby, I can’t wait for you to be on your way,
Eagerly anticipating your departure.
So goodbye,
A definitive goodbye.
Whatever made you happy,
Reflecting on what brought happiness and sadness.
Whatever made you sad,
Mentioning the unknown reasons for joy and sorrow.
Nobody knows,
No one understands.
I gave it all to you, darlin’,
I've given everything to you, but now it's time to say goodbye.
Just say goodbye,
I don’t want your love no more,
Reiteration of not wanting your love.
Just so tired of the games you play,
Fed up with the games and wasted time.
All the time you waste,
Repeated emphasis on the time wasted.
So believe me when I say,
Reaffirming the rejection and anticipation of departure.
So believe me,
Emphasizing the sincerity of not needing you.
I don’t need you anyway,
Stating independence again, not needing you in any way.
I don’t need you,
Emphasizing the lack of need for you.
Baby, I can’t wait for you to be on your way,
Anxiously waiting for your departure.
So goodbye,
A final farewell.
