The Kiss-Off
Brooke Allison Lyrics

Some guys never gonna argue, never gonna bet you're never gonna change
There are some guys who will always be the same and never change, no matter what. They will always be predictable.

Just one thing to say to you-goodbye, goodbye
The singer is saying goodbye to someone who has let her down and hurt her. She has no more words to offer him, just goodbye.

I had this letter written to you long ago but never sent it out
The singer had written a letter to this person a long time ago, but she never sent it.

I had my speech prepared, my kiss-off lines rehearsed
The singer has prepared herself to say goodbye to this person for a long time; she knew exactly what she wanted to say.

But I backed out
However, she never actually said anything, maybe because she was afraid to confront him.

Why did it take so long for me to take the lead
The singer is asking herself why she took so long to take control of the situation and say what she needed to say.

And realize that you got nothing that I need
She has finally realized that this person no longer has anything to offer her, so she can say goodbye and move on.

You think that you're God's gift to life that we should fall
The person she is saying goodbye to thinks that he is amazing and that everyone should want to be with him.

Right at your feet-I don't think so - no
However, the singer does not feel that way about him; she is not willing to bow down to him or worship him.

And when you break our hearts you toss it out and never miss a beat
This person has hurt the singer before, and she knows that he does not care about the pain he causes others; he just moves on without a second thought.

But now the tables turned-I won't be hurt again
However, this time, the singer is taking control of the situation and no longer allowing herself to be hurt.

Does it feel backwards to be on the losing end?
The singer is asking the person she is saying goodbye to if it feels strange or uncomfortable to be the one who is losing her.

I'm through cryin' for you, no more lyin' for you
The singer is done crying and lying for this person. She is moving on and leaving him behind.

Won't be caught up in your game
She is no longer going to be a part of this person's life or allow him to control her.

Don't really feel the need to argue this and that
The singer is no longer interested in arguing with this person or trying to reason with him.

Your time is up-so glad we had this little chat
The singer is saying that it is time for this person to leave her life. She is happy to have had the opportunity to say goodbye.

How shall I put this?
The singer is contemplating how to say goodbye in the best way possible.

I've got just the thing -Goodbye
She has decided that the best way to say goodbye is simply to say goodbye.

Just one thing to say to you…-Goodbye, Goodbye…
All she needs to say to this person is goodbye, and she repeats it twice to really emphasize her point.

This message will be brief-there's nothing much to tell
The singer's message is simple and to the point; she has nothing more to say than goodbye.

My heart is signing off-direct from AOL
The singer's heart is done with this person, and they are officially disconnected, just like ending an online chat session.

So simple and elegant don't ever ask me why
Her goodbye is simple and elegant, and she does not need to explain herself or justify her decision to anyone.

I've got just one thing to say to you (Goodbye)
The only thing left for her to say to this person is goodbye, and she repeats it for emphasis.
