This heartfelt ballad explores the emotional turmoil of ending a romantic relationship out of love and respect for the partner. The singer acknowledges the pain visible in their lover's eyes and empathizes with their struggles. They believe their partner deserves more than what they can offer, leading to a difficult decision to part ways. Despite being deeply painful, they choose to end things rather than continue living a lie or causing further hurt. This song is a poignant expression of self-sacrifice, demonstrating that sometimes, saying goodbye is the most loving act when one feels inadequate in fulfilling their partner's needs. It emphasizes the bitter truth that love alone isn't always enough to sustain a relationship.
Goodbye
Lyrics
I can see the pain living in your eyes
And I know how hard you try
You deserve to have so much more
I can feel your heart and I sympathize
And I'll never criticize all you've ever meant to my life
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want to hold you back
From where you might belong
You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but good-bye
You deserve the chance at the kind of love
I'm not sure I'm worthy of
Losing you is painful to me
(Chorus) You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to try
Though it's gonna hurt us both
There's no other way than to say good-bye
