Bryan Adams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's just so many things to say
Please don't stop me 'till I'm through
This is something I hate to do
We've been meeting here so long
I guess what we done, oh was wrong
Please darling, oh don't you cry
Many months have passed us by
(I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
I've got ties, and so do you
(I'm gonna miss you)
I just think this is the thing to do
(Yes I do)
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie
Maybe you'll meet,
maybe you'll meet another guy
Understand me
Won't you try, try, try, try, try, try, try
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
(I'm gonna miss you)
I'm gonna miss you, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
Understand me, won't you try, won't you try
(I'm gonna miss you)
It's gonna hurt me, I can't lie
(I'm gonna miss you)
I take my handkerchief and wipe your eyes
(I'm gonna miss you)
Maybe you'll find, maybe you'll find another guy
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Let's just kiss and say goodbye

The singer explains that he had to meet his partner to discuss the end of their relationship, though he wishes he did not have to. He reflects on the time they have spent together, admitting that what they did was wrong. Despite this, he implores his partner not to cry and suggests they kiss and say goodbye. He acknowledges that it will be difficult for both of them, and he may miss his partner. However, he believes that breaking up is the right thing to do, and he hopes his partner will eventually understand.
The song expresses the pain and sadness of a relationship ending. The singer does not seem to be angry or resentful, but rather accepting of the need to move on. He recognizes that ending the relationship will cause hurt and loss, but believes that it is better to do so than to continue in a way that is not working. The chorus, which repeats the lines "I'm gonna miss you" and "let's just kiss and say goodbye," emphasizes the emotional weight of the decision to end the relationship.
Overall, "Kiss And Say Goodbye" is a poignant reflection on the end of a romantic relationship. The singer acknowledges the hurt and loss that will come with the end of the relationship, but also recognizes that sometimes, it is necessary to say goodbye.
