Goodbye
Farewell Symphony: Unveiling the Heartbreak in TaRhea Ray's 'Goodbye'
Lyrics
As far as I can see
Expressing a broad perspective on the situation.
It's time to let go
Indicating the need to release or move on.
Cause now it's hard to breathe
Describing the difficulty in coping, possibly emotionally.
I'm dying real slow
Expressing a slow, painful deterioration or decline.
I find it hard to speak
Conveying difficulty in expressing thoughts or feelings.
You get defensive
Pointing out defensiveness in the other person.
And when it comes to me
Noting a lack of interest from the other person.
You show no interest
Continuation of the lack of interest in the relationship.
You're a lier
Accusing the other person of dishonesty.
Baby you, are a coward when I need a fighter
Highlighting a perceived weakness in the partner.
(Can you be that for me?)
Asking for a specific type of support.
Don't wanna worry bout cha leaving
Expressing a desire not to worry about the partner leaving.
When the ride gets rough
Anticipating challenges in the relationship.
It's disappointing me now
Feeling let down by the partner.
That you could never measure up
Expressing disappointment in the partner's inability to measure up.
Oh well
Resignation to the situation.
Goodbye (Bye)
Formally saying goodbye.
Goodbye (Bye)
Repeating the farewell for emphasis.
The clock is ticking
Highlighting the urgency to leave.
We gotta pack up and leave
Stating that the relationship has reached its end.
End of the line
Expressing a lack of time to mourn the relationship.
I got not time to grieve for you
Affirming the finality of the breakup.
It's over
Confirming the end of the relationship.
You are not a victim, you're the one inflicting pain
Assigning responsibility for the pain in the relationship.
You're a lier
Repeating the accusation of dishonesty.
Baby you, are a coward when I need a fighter
Reiterating the partner's perceived weakness.
(You can't be that for me)
Emphasizing the partner's inability to provide needed support.
I'm not worried bout cha leaving
Expressing confidence in facing challenges.
Cause my mama raised me tough
Attributing resilience to upbringing.
So pack ya things and get out
Demanding the partner to leave.
Cause I really had enough
Declaring a threshold of tolerance has been reached.
(Bye)
Repeating the farewell.
Time to keep on moving
Emphasizing the need to keep moving forward.
(Bye)
Reiterating the farewell.
It's time to say goodbye, I'm waving bye
Stating the final goodbye and physically waving goodbye.
(Bye)
Repeating the farewell.
Don't cha ya back around here begging for
Warning against seeking reconciliation or forgiveness.
(Bye)
Reiterating the denial of a second chance.
A second chance, don't even try
Advising against attempting to return to the relationship.
Fly away, away from me (Fly away, way from me)
Encouraging physical separation and departure.
Fly away, away from me (Fly away, away from me)
Repeating the encouragement to fly away.
