Hard to Say Goodbye
Bryarly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got your face on the screen
I've got these memories on my mind constantly
I've got myself resigned to waiting patiently
And I won't lie - it's hard to say goodbye
It's one of those things that won't get easier with time
But if you wait, I promise I'll wait, too
With your love of solitude and my independent moods
We will always spend a bit of time apart
But that doesn't bother me - uncomprehendingly,
We move away then back together easily
And I won't lie - it's hard to say goodbye
It's one of those things that won't get easier with time
But if you wait, I promise I'll wait, too
Until the day that I can make my way to you
I'll keep you here with me in every hazy dream
That lies upon my lashes when I'm fast asleep
And as my memories fade, I'll count the remaining days
Until I see you once again in front of me
And I won't lie - it's hard to say goodbye
It's one of those things that won't get easier with time
But if you wait, I promise I'll wait, too
Until the day that I can make my way to you
Until the day that I can make my way to you
In these lyrics, the singer is expressing how difficult it is to say goodbye to someone they care deeply about. They rely on memories, technology (via video chats), and dreams to keep this person close despite the distance between them. The singer acknowledges that while they value their independence and alone time, they still crave the presence of this person in their life. They promise to wait for them and to continue to hold onto their love until they are reunited.
The song touches on the struggles that come with long-distance relationships and how technology has allowed for some sense of connection despite the physical distance. The lyrics also deal with themes of patience, longing, and a willingness to put in the effort to maintain a relationship.
Overall, the song is a heartfelt message from one person to another, expressing the difficulties of being apart but also the love and dedication they have towards making the relationship work.

tenho suas melodias para me fazer companhia
Eu tenho o seu rosto na tela
Eu tenho essas memórias na minha mente constantemente
Eu tenho me resignado a esperar pacientemente
E eu não vou mentir - é difícil dizer adeus
É uma daquelas coisas que não vai ficar mais fácil com o tempo
Mas se você esperar, eu prometo que vou esperar, também
Até o dia em que eu possa fazer o meu caminho com você
Com o seu amor de solidão e meus humores independentes
Nós sempre vai gastar um pouco de tempo separados
Mas isso não me incomoda - sem compreender,
Nós nos afastamos, em seguida, de volta junto com facilidade
E eu não vou mentir - é difícil dizer adeus
É uma daquelas coisas que não vai ficar mais fácil com o tempo
Mas se você esperar, eu prometo que vou esperar, também
Até o dia em que eu possa fazer o meu caminho com você
Vou mantê-lo aqui comigo em cada sonho vago
Que se encontra em cima de meus cílios quando estou dormindo
E como minhas memórias desaparecendo, eu vou contar os dias restantes
Até que eu vê-lo mais uma vez na minha frente
E eu não vou mentir - é difícil dizer adeus
É uma daquelas coisas que não vai ficar mais fácil com o tempo
Mas se você esperar, eu prometo que vou esperar, também
Até o dia em que eu possa fazer o meu caminho com você
Até o dia em que eu possa fazer o meu caminho com você

This is so amazing, I can't stop listening to it. I would love to have seen Charlie's reaction to it, I am sure his heart burst into a million little Bryarly shaped bits. One million points to Gryffindor Miss Bishop!

Looking into her eyes immerses me deeply. She's not singing to me, though the feeling still reaches this far.
