Sayonara
ゴスペラーズ Lyrics

These lyrics capture the emotions and thoughts of someone who is about to say goodbye to a lover or a relationship. The first verse expresses the feeling of wanting a final kiss and struggling with the words, realizing that saying goodbye means truly parting ways. The repetition of "I gotta go, you gotta go" emphasizes the inevitability of the separation.

The second verse suggests that once the goodbye is said, there is no going back – the memories will remain memories. The singer contemplates leaving behind the farewell kiss and the burden of guilt on their back. They acknowledge the loneliness that comes with being alone but decide to discard these emotions before looking back.

The chorus speaks of a broken love story, emphasizing the missed opportunities and the new tomorrow that lies beyond the doors they passed. The singer suggests that unjust breakups cannot be justified, and even though it breaks their heart, they ask for nothing but to be forgotten by their former love. They reject the idea of betrayal.

The following verse talks about praying in a smile and receiving sweet kisses in tears, indicating the mixed emotions experienced in the relationship. The singer grows tired and wants it to end, wishing that the foolish conclusion remains in the past. They express their willingness to let go of the sadness and start anew.

The final repetition of "I gotta go, you gotta go" reiterates the necessity for both parties to move on. It emphasizes the need to let go of the farewell on the lips and the burden on the back. The lyrics end with the determination to continue until the sentimental journey concludes, saying goodbye with "Sayonara." The repetition of "you gotta go" implies that both individuals need to find their separate paths.
