Time to Say Goodbye
Cole Adams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’m sorry it’s time to go now
We’ve taken every road, oh and how we’ve changed
But I wouldn’t change one thing
About the time we were given
It’s just time to part ways, oh

Lessons in life don’t always come easy
It feels like losing you, baby
It’s so hard when
A part of me just wants to stay
Oh, Oh, Oh

I never thought I’d see the day
When we would go our separate ways
And I, can’t hold back these tears I cry
When it’s time to say goodbye

I feel so much resistance
We both know that I miss it
It made me feel alive
But I know I gotta be good now
On my own
Without you by my side, oh

Lessons in life don’t always come easy
It feels like losing you, baby
It’s so hard when
A part of me just wants to stay
Oh, Oh, Oh
Ooh, yeah

Here we are
I never thought I’d see the day
When we would go our separate ways
And I, can’t hold back these tears I cry
When it’s time to say goodbye

Ooh, yeah
Oh no, here we are
I never thought I’d see the day
When we would go our separate ways
And I, can’t hold back these tears I cry
When it’s time to say goodbye

It’s time to say goodbye
Oh, oh, oh
Goodbye
It’s time to say goodbye




Oh, yeah
Goodbye
