Goodbye
Air Supply(에어 서플라이) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

Teringat kembali masa itu..., saat sy dan kembar sy msh SMA kelas 1, thn 1993. dan dirmh cuma kmi berdua. waktu itu rumah terasa begitu sunyi. Bapak dan ibu lagi diluar kota. Tiba2..TVRI menayangkan lagu ini. Sekarang rumah bapak dan ibu sdh tak ada yg tinggal. Sodara smua sdh punya kehidupan masing2. Bapak dan ibu telah lama pergi meninggalkan kami anak2 nya 😭😭. Rindu dengan momen indah itu... if i could turn be back 😥😥
