Lyrics
I, I look into her eyes
Reflecting on looking into someone's eyes.
Saw through her disguise
Perceiving through a disguise or hidden aspects.
But never realized
Not realizing a shared desire for freedom.
That we were longing to be free
Expressing a wish to break free and escape.
Runaway to sea
Considering the idea of running away to the sea.
Well that could never be
Realizing the impracticality of the escape.
Goodbye don't say goodbye
Addressing the difficulty of saying goodbye.
I'd rather die
Expressing a preference for death over parting.
Than say goodbye
Reiterating the emotional challenge of farewell.
Once so very long ago
Recalling a distant time of strong affection.
Was when I loved you so
Reflecting on past intense love.
If only I had known
Expressing regret for not realizing the significance.
That I was blinded by my fate
Acknowledging being blinded by destiny.
I traded love for hate
Trading love for hatred, a decision with consequences.
Now I just sit and wait
Presenting a state of passive waiting.
Goodbye don't say goodbye
Repeating the difficulty of saying goodbye.
I'd rather die
Reiterating the emotional toll of parting.
Than say goodbye
Emphasizing the challenge of farewell.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
Counting down, possibly signifying an imminent departure.
Goodbye don't say goodbye
Reiterating the emotional struggle with farewell.
I'd rather die
Reaffirming a preference for death over goodbye.
Than say goodbye
Restating the difficulty of parting.
Goodbye don't say goodbye
Repeating the emotional challenge of saying goodbye.
I'd rather die
Reiterating the preference for death over farewell.
Than say goodbye
Emphasizing the enduring struggle with goodbye.
