Hello Heartache
Avril Lavigne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was unpredictable
It was more than worth it
But not too sensible
Young and foolish
That seem to be the way
I was stupid
Oh oh
To think that I could stay
Goodbye my friend
Hello heartache
It's not the end
It's not the same
Wish it didn't have to be this way but
You and I will spin the world to make love
Goodbye my friend
Hello heartache
La la la la la la la
Hello heartache
La la la la la la la
I was champagne
You were Jameson
Every bad thing
But it was so much fun
I seen your best side
You got to see my worst
It's not the first time
But this one really hurts
Yea, this one's gonna... it hurts
Goodbye my friend
Hello heartache
It's not the end
It's not the same
Wish it didn't have to be this way but
You and I will spin the world to make love
Goodbye my friend
Hello heartache
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Do you know? Do you dance?
It's just goodbye, it's not the end
Do you know? Do you dance?
It's just goodbye, it's not the end
Goodbye my friend
Hello heartache
It's not the end
It's not the same
Wish it didn't have to be this way but
You and I will spin the world to make love
Goodbye my friend
Hello heartache
La la la la la la la
Hello heartache
La la la la la la la
Wish it didn't have to be this way but
You and I will spin the world to make love
Goodbye my friend
Hello heartache
La la la la la la la

Line by Line Meaning
You were perfect
You were everything I wanted in a partner
I was unpredictable
I was inconsistent and didn't always act in a logical way
It was more than worth it
Our relationship was incredibly valuable to me
But not too sensible
However, it wasn't the most practical choice
Young and foolish
We were both naive and inexperienced
That seem to be the way
That was just how we were at the time
I was stupid
I made a mistake
To think that I could stay
To believe that we could make it work in the long term
Goodbye my friend
Our relationship has ended
Hello heartache
But now I'm left with a lot of emotional pain
It's not the end
Despite the breakup, life goes on
It's not the same
Things have changed between us
Wish it didn't have to be this way but
I regret that our relationship had to end in heartache
You and I will spin the world to make love
Maybe we can still find a way to make it work between us
I was champagne
I was flashy and fun
You were Jameson
You were rough around the edges
Every bad thing
Despite our flaws, we had a good time together
But it was so much fun
In spite of everything, I enjoyed being with you
I seen your best side
I saw your most positive traits
You got to see my worst
You saw me at my most vulnerable
It's not the first time
This isn't the first heartbreak I've experienced
But this one really hurts
But this one feels particularly painful
Do you know? Do you dance?
Are you aware of the impact you've had on me? Do you care?
It's just goodbye, it's not the end
This may feel like the end, but it's not necessarily over forever
La la la la la la la
A non-verbal expression of pain and sorrow
