Bye Bye Bye
‘N Sync Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm doing this tonight
You're probably gonna start a fight
I know this can't be right
Hey baby come on
I loved you endlessly
When you weren't there for me
So now it's time to leave and make it alone
I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie
I want to see you out that door
Baby bye bye bye
Bye bye Don't want to be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye
Bye bye
Don't want to make it tough
I just want to tell you that I've had enough
It might sound crazy but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye
You just hit me with the truth
Now girl you're more than welcome to
So give me one good reason
Baby come on
I've lived for you and me
And now I really come to see
That life would be much better once you're gone
I know that I can't take no more
Ain't no lie
I want to see you out that door
Baby bye bye bye
Bye bye Don't want to be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye
Bye bye
Don't want to make it tough
I just want to tell you that I've had enough
It might sound crazy but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye
I'm givng up I know for sure
don't' want to be the reason for your love no more
Bye bye
I'm checking out, I'm signing off
Don't want to be the loser and I've had enough
Don't want to be your fool in this game for two
So I'm leaving you behind
(Bye bye bye)
I don't want to make it tough
(Make it tough)
But I've had enough
(Bye bye)
And it ain't no lie
Bye bye Don't want to be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye
Bye bye
Don't want to make it tough
I just want to tell you that I've had enough
It might sound crazy but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye
The lyrics of ‘N Sync's song Bye Bye Bye ostensibly describe a man who is tired of being in an unhealthy and unsustainable relationship. He is taking charge of his own happiness by ending it and asserting his independence. The chorus is brimming with conviction; he cannot deal with the situation anymore and has decided to break free. The line "don't want to be a fool for you, just another player in your game for two" signifies that he has had enough of being taken for granted and playing by someone else's rules. He now values himself too much to let this continue, and even though the decision to break up might be difficult, it is necessary for his well-being.
Overall, the message of the song is powerful and resonant. It captures the frustration, heartache, and fear that arise when ending a long-term relationship, especially one that is toxic. The song's overarching theme is that of hope and positivity, reminding us that we all have the power to end negative relationships and move forward with our lives.
