Baby Goodbye
E.M.D. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You might think that I am radical
But I can't go around pretending life is fine
No no
Don't even miss when love was magical, no
So please don't bother buy me flowers when you're gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone

Baby goodbye, baby farewell
I don't wanna lie
'Cause we can't stay together
My friend
This is the end, the picture is drawn
You're not even on
Because you're gone
Gone, gone, gone, hey!

I've never been the calm an' quiet one
When people say that I am off the leash
I've not even begun, 'gun, 'gun

Baby goodbye, baby farewell
I don't wanna lie
Coz we can't stay together
My friend
This is the end, the picture is drawn
You're not even on
Because you're gone
Gone, gone

I don't wanna see
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna hear
If you are alone
I'm feeling so free
Now that you're gone
Gone, gone

Baby goodbye, baby farewell
I don't wanna lie
'Cause we can't stay together
My friend
This is the end, that picture is drawn
You're not even on
Because you're gone
Gone, gone

Baby goodbye, baby farewell
I don't wanna lie
'Cause we can't stay together
My friend
This is the end, the picture is drawn
You're not even on
Baby goodbye, baby farewell
I don't wanna lie
'Cause we can't stay together
My friend
This is the end, the picture is drawn
You're not even on




Because you're gone, gone, gone
Baby goodbye!
