One Last Goodbye
Anathema Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How I bleed now you're gone
In my dreams I can see you
But I awake so alone
I know you didn't want to leave
Your heart yearned to stay
But the strength I always loved in you
Somehow I knew you would leave me this way
Somehow I knew you could never stay
And in the early morning light
After a silent peaceful night
You took my heart away
In my dreams I can see you
I can tell you how I feel
In my dreams I can hold you
It feels so real
And I still feel the pain
I still feel your love
I still feel the pain
I still feel your love
Somehow I knew you would leave me this way
Somehow I knew you could never stay
And in the early morning light
After a peaceful night
You took my heart away
I wish you could have stayed
The lyrics to One Last Goodbye are a poignant expression of grief and longing for a lost love. The singer laments the departure of his beloved, and describes the pain and loneliness he feels in the wake of their separation. He dreams of his lost love, and longs to hold her once again, but knows that she is gone for good.
The song captures the universal human experience of loss, and the struggle to come to terms with the reality that the person we love is no longer with us. The lyrics are simple and direct, but they convey a powerful emotion that resonates with anyone who has ever experienced the pain of losing someone they love.
The chorus of the song is particularly moving, as the singer declares that he still feels both the pain and the love of his lost partner. This duality captures the complex emotions that often accompany grief, as we struggle to reconcile the joy and love we once shared with the heartbreak and sadness of our loss.

How I needed you
I depended on your presence in my life
How I bleed now you're gone
I feel immense emotional pain since you left
In my dreams I can see you
I imagine you in my mind while I'm asleep
But I awake so alone
I feel deeply alone when I wake up
I know you didn't want to leave
I understand that you didn't want to depart
Your heart yearned to stay
You wished you could have prolonged your stay with me
But the strength I always loved in you
The strong willpower that I admired in you
Finally gave way
Eventually diminished and you had to leave
Somehow I knew you would leave me this way
Subconsciously, I anticipated our separation
Somehow I knew you could never stay
I realized you wouldn't be able to remain with me
And in the early morning light
During the beginning of the day
After a silent peaceful night
Following a calm, soundless night
You took my heart away
Your departure broke my heart
In my dreams I can tell you how I feel
I express my emotions towards you when I'm asleep
In my dreams I can hold you
When I'm dreaming, I can physically embrace you
It feels so real
It seems authentic and genuine
And I still feel the pain
I'm still emotionally hurt
I still feel your love
I still sense the love you once had for me
I still feel the pain
I'm still emotionally hurt
I still feel your love
I still sense the love you once had for me
I wish you could have stayed
I desire for you to have remained with me

How I needed you
How I grieve now, you're gone
In my dreams I see you
I'm awake, so alone
I know you didn't want to leave
Your heart yearned to stay
But the strength I always loved in you
Finally gave way
Somehow I knew you would leave me this way
And somehow I knew you could never, never stay
And in the early morning light after a silent peaceful night
You took my heart away and I grieve
In my dreams I can see you
I can tell you how I feel
In my dreams I can hold you
And it feels so real
I still feel the pain
I still feel your love
I still feel the pain
I still feel your love
And somehow I knew you could never, never stay
And somehow I knew you would leave me
And in the early morning light after a silent peaceful night
You took my heart away, oh I wish, I wish you could have stayed

"How I needed you" I'm going through so much rn I wish she was still here
"How I bleed, now youre gone" I started cutting so much and shes not here
"In my dreams i see you" all i do i dream about her
"I awake so alone" I'm never gonna see her again
"Somehow I knew you would leave me this way, somehow I knew you could never stay" I knew it since we met that I wasnt gonna last that shed leave me
"And in the early morning light, after a silent peaceful night, you took my heart away" we worked throughout the entire night shift with almost no customers, then when we clocked out she dropped me off at my house and we hugged and she left
"In my dreams I can see you, I can tell you how I feel, in my dreams I can hold you, and it feels so real" it does, all I dream is me telling her how sorry I am how I can fix it
"I still feel the pain..love" I still do
"Somehow i knew you could never stay, somehow I know you could leave me" I just did I knew it since we first met but I never gave it another thought
"I wish you could be stayed" I really do...

@HillsSilent
Take it from someone that has, you don't want to experience that, it is unfortunately a natural part of many people's lives though.
@coldguto
2 years after I commented this, my mom left this world in consequence of a lengthy alcohol addiction. Multiple organ failure, in her bed, at 10am.

@@coldguto Hope you are doing okay.
