There's Always Goodbye
Eternal Echoes of Farewell: The Hollies' Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
Ever since that first night
Reflecting on the beginning of a significant relationship.
When I gave my love to you
Expressing the act of giving love to the person addressed.
Everything seemed so right
Describing a period where everything felt perfect and harmonious.
You are my sunlight shining through
Comparing the addressed person to sunlight, symbolizing positivity and brightness.
And I tried so not to let it show
Trying to hide emotions or feelings, not wanting them to be apparent.
Yet it seems sad because I know
Despite efforts to conceal feelings, there's a sense of sadness due to an impending realization.
No matter how hard I try
Expressing a struggle or effort to maintain the relationship.
No matter how hard I try
Reiteration of the difficulty in sustaining the relationship.
There's always goodbye
Highlighting the inevitability of saying goodbye despite efforts.
You smile softly as you leave my bed
Depicting a bittersweet moment of parting with a subtle smile.
And I tightly hold your hand
Physically holding on, possibly reflecting a desire to prolong the moment.
You lean down to kiss my head
Despite physical closeness, there's a lack of verbal communication.
But there's nothing to be said
Suggesting a lack of resolution or clarity in the relationship.
And if you said you want to sing
Referring to a potential desire to sing or express oneself.
I know you'd soon be on your way
Anticipating a departure if the person expresses their true feelings.
No matter how hard we try
Reiteration of the challenge in maintaining the relationship.
No matter how hard I try
Emphasizing the personal struggle in preserving the connection.
There's always goodbye
Reaffirming the theme that goodbyes are inevitable.
So here we stand, you and I
Describing the current state of standing together with unspoken feelings.
You are too kind and I'm too shy
Acknowledging personal traits that hinder open communication.
To say what we really mean
Expressing a difficulty in conveying true emotions.
So we make life a masquerade
Portraying life as a masquerade, where true selves are hidden.
Never showing all, only the parts we played
Choosing to reveal only certain aspects of one's identity.
No matter how hard I try
Reiterating the constant struggle in preserving the relationship.
No matter how hard I try
Emphasizing personal efforts to overcome challenges.
There's always goodbye
Affirming the persistent presence of goodbyes despite efforts.
There's always goodbye
Repeating the theme that goodbyes are an inherent part of the relationship.
No matter how hard I try
Stressing the difficulty in avoiding goodbyes despite continued efforts.
No matter how hard I try
Reiteration of the personal struggle and effort to prevent goodbyes.
There's always goodbye
Underlining the inevitability of goodbyes, regardless of personal efforts.
No matter how hard I try
Finalizing the song with a repetition of the theme that goodbyes persist despite sincere efforts.
