No Good Bye
Beres Hammond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't, no I can't

Every time I think of saying goodbye
Everything inside me says it's a lie
So I can't, no I can't, no I can't, yes

Yes, you've been with me right through the rough
And you never said I've had enough
So I can't, no I can't, no I can't

I'd like to repay you for damages done
I know I won't be able to repair it all 'cause I lost out
And with all the time you've been hurting
You're still so fine and it's blowing my mind

I know I should pack and walk away
And leave you nothing to remind
But I can't, oh I can't, no I can't, no honey, no

Just wish I was man enough to
Come out and say it to you, you know

I'd like to repay you for damages done
I know I won't be able to repair it all 'cause I lost out
And with all the time I see you hurting
You're still so fine and it's blowing my mind

I should pack my things and walk away
And leave you nothing to remind
But I can't, oh I can't, no I can't

Every time I think of saying goodbye
Everything inside me says it's a lie
So I can't, no I can't, no I can't baby

'Cause you've been with me right through the rough
And you never said I've had enough
So I can't, no I can't, no I can't baby

I try, I try, I try but I can't, should've known better
I know I would never, how could I leave you baby
But you're so fine with everything I do
No I can't, I can't

Oh baby, ooh baby




I wish that we were just starting
Oh baby
