Don't Say Goodbye
Emotional Turmoil: Facing Love and Demons
Lyrics
I made my therapist cry today
The singer caused their therapist to cry by discussing their fear of leaving someone.
Cause I told her how scared I am to leave you
Expressing fear about parting ways with the listener.
And she knows all of the other things I've been through
The therapist is aware of the singer's past experiences.
Yeah she knows how much it would hurt for me to lose you
Therapist understands the pain the singer would feel if they lost the listener.
And you always seem like you're so fine
The listener appears outwardly fine, but the singer feels differently.
But babe I'm freaking out inside
Internally distressed despite outward appearances.
So don't say goodbye
Pleading for the listener not to say goodbye.
Just stay another hour
Requesting the listener to stay longer.
Cause after you leave
The singer's emotional struggles manifest once the listener departs.
My demons all come out
The singer's inner struggles surface when alone after the listener leaves.
I was good at being alone 'til I met you
Before meeting the listener, the singer was accustomed to solitude.
But somehow I'm not now
Feeling discomfort in solitude after becoming close to the listener.
So don't say goodbye
Reiteration of the plea not to bid farewell.
No don't say goodbye
Reiterating the request to avoid saying goodbye.
No don't say goodbye 'til I'm out
Asking not to say goodbye until the singer is no longer emotionally attached.
You know you made me cry today
The listener caused the singer to cry by discussing the pain of leaving.
Cause you told me how much it would hurt for me to leave you
The listener expressed the emotional difficulty of parting ways.
And being loved and loving is the best when it's with you
Emphasizing the joy of love within the relationship.
New York feels like the moon when I think how far it is from all of this
New York feels distant when thinking about being away from the listener.
And you always seem like you're so fine
Despite appearing fine, the singer fears losing their sanity.
But babe I think I'll lose my mind
Anticipating a mental breakdown without the listener.
So don't say goodbye
Asking the listener not to leave immediately.
Just stay another hour
Urging the listener to stay longer.
Cause after you leave
The singer's inner struggles resurface after the listener's departure.
My demons all come out
The singer's demons or inner turmoil emerge when alone.
I was good at being alone 'til I met you
The singer was comfortable with solitude before meeting the listener.
But somehow I'm not now
Struggling with being alone after becoming close to the listener.
So don't say goodbye
Repeating the plea not to say goodbye.
No don't say goodbye
Repeated request to avoid bidding farewell.
No don't say goodbye 'til I'm out
Asking not to say goodbye until the emotional attachment is gone.
So don't say goodbye
Repeated plea not to say goodbye.
No don't say goodbye
Repeated request to avoid bidding farewell.
No don't say goodbye 'til I'm out
Asking not to say goodbye until emotional detachment is achieved.
I was good at being alone 'til I met you
Reiterating the comfort in solitude before meeting the listener.
But somehow I'm not now
Feeling discomfort in solitude after becoming close to the listener.
