No Regrets
Farewell Echoes: Embracing Change Without Regrets
Lyrics
I know you're leavin', it's too long overdue
The speaker acknowledges the departure, which was overdue.
For far too long I've had nothin' new to show to you
The speaker feels they haven't progressed or offered anything new for a long time.
Goodbye dry eyes, I watched your plane fade off west of the moon
Saying farewell with dry eyes, watching the departing plane vanish in the distance.
And it felt so strange to walk away alone
Leaving alone feels peculiar and unfamiliar.
There's no regrets
The speaker asserts that there are no feelings of remorse.
No tears goodbye
Expressing the departure without shedding tears.
I don't want you back
Declaring a lack of desire to reconcile.
We'd only cry again
Anticipating that reconnecting would lead to more tears.
Say goodbye again
Reiterating the act of saying farewell.
The hours that were yours echo like empty rooms
Memories of the past, once belonging to both, now echo emptily for the speaker alone.
The thoughts we used to share I now keep alone
Private thoughts that were shared are now kept solitary by the speaker.
I woke last night and spoke to you, not thinking you were gone
Recalling an instance of speaking to the departed person in a dream, forgetting momentarily about their absence.
And it felt so strange to lie awake alone
Feeling strange and uncomfortable being awake and alone.
There's no regrets
Reaffirmation of no feelings of remorse.
No tears goodbye
Stating the departure without tears.
I don't want you back
Expressing the lack of desire to reconcile or reunite.
We'd only cry again
Belief that getting back together would lead to more emotional pain.
Say goodbye again
Repeating the act of saying goodbye.
Our friends are trying to turn my nights to day
Friends are attempting to help the speaker recover from the breakup.
Strange faces on your place can't keep the ghost away
Despite new people occupying the departed person's place, their memory still lingers.
Now just beyond the darkest hour and just behind the dawn
Referring to the time just before things seem their worst and just after they seem better.
It still feels so strange to lead my life alone
Continuing to feel unusual leading a life without the departed.
There's no regrets
Reiteration of no feelings of remorse or regret.
No tears goodbye
Confirming the departure without shedding tears.
I don't want you back
Expressing the lack of desire for reconciliation.
We'd only cry again
Anticipating that reuniting would lead to further emotional distress.
Say goodbye again
Repeating the act of saying goodbye.
There's no regrets
Final confirmation of no remorse or regrets.
No tears goodbye
Emphasizing the departure without tears.
I don't want you back
Declaring the lack of desire to reconcile.
We'd only cry again
Anticipating that getting back together would only cause more tears.
Say goodbye again
Reiterating the act of saying farewell.
