bye
Ariana Grande Lyrics

Bye-bye
A farewell to a part of life that is no longer serving me.

Boy, bye, hmm
A dismissal of a partner who has caused pain, mixed with a reflective sigh.

Hmm
A moment of contemplation about the situation.

Bye-bye
Reinforcing the decision to move on.

And boy, bye
Pointing out the necessity of cutting ties with a particular person.

It's over, it's over, oh yeah
A declaration of closure and acceptance of the end of the relationship.

This ain't the first time I've been hostage to these tears
Acknowledging past experiences of emotional pain and vulnerability.

I can't believe I'm finally movin' through my fears
Realizing that I'm gaining strength and overcoming previous insecurities.

At least, I know how hard we tried, both you and me
Recognizing the shared effort put into the relationship, despite its failure.

Didn't we? Didn't we?
Questioning if both parties truly acknowledged the struggle they faced together.

So I grab my stuff
Preparing to leave and take control of my situation.

Courtney just pulled up in the driveway
My friend has arrived to support me in this transitional moment.

It's time
The moment has come to take action and move forward.

Bye-bye
Reaffirming my decision to part ways.

Boy, bye
Repeatedly dismissing the individual who has hurt me.

Bye-bye
Reinforcing my choice to exit the relationship.

It's over, it's over, oh yeah
Emphasizing that the relationship has definitively ended.

Bye-bye
Saying farewell as I reclaim my independence.

I'm takin' what's mine, yeah
Taking back ownership of my life and happiness.

Bye-bye
Continually asserting that I am done with the past.

It's over, it's over, oh yeah
Affirming the finality of the ending.

You know, I'm stronger than I think
Recognizing my inner strength that I may not have fully acknowledged.

Usually, I'd join you on the floor, but this dance ain't for me
In the past, I would have engaged in a toxic cycle, but now I refuse to participate.

Boy, just turn the music up
Advising him to enjoy himself while I step away from the chaos.

Maybe, someday we'll look back with love
Holding onto the hope that in the future, there will be fond memories of our time together.

Didn't think you'd lose me
Surprised that the other person couldn't recognize how much I meant to them.

Now it's just too late to choose me
Realizing that the opportunity for them to appreciate me has passed.

So I grab my stuff
Taking decisive action to leave the situation behind.

Courtney just pulled up in the driveway
My friend is here to help me make this transition easier.

It's time (it's time)
Affirming the need to move on now.

Bye-bye
Reiterating my farewell.

Boy, bye (boy, bye)
Affirming once again that I am done with him.

Bye-bye
Acknowledging the end in a firm tone.

It's over, it's over, oh yeah (bye)
Emphasizing the relationship's conclusion with confidence.

Bye-bye (bye-bye)
Continually marking my decision to leave.

I'm takin' what's mine, yeah (takin' what's mine)
Reasserting that I deserve to reclaim my happiness and agency.

Bye-bye
Saying goodbye with finality.

It's over, it's over, oh yeah (ooh)
Restating the resolution that the relationship has ended.

Bye-bye (bye-bye)
Consistently affirming my decision to part ways.

Boy, bye
A direct and assertive farewell to him.

Bye-bye
Concisely stating my farewell once more.

It's over, it's over, oh yeah (bye)
Cementing the idea that our time together is done.

Bye-bye (bye-bye)
Affirming my choice to move on in a matter-of-fact way.

I'm takin' what's mine, yeah (I'm takin' what's mine)
Stating with conviction that I will take back my self-worth and happiness.

Bye-bye
Concluding this chapter with a definitive farewell.

It's over, it's over, oh yeah
Finalizing my acceptance that the relationship has concluded.
