Goodbye Song
Elizaveta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause they won't mean a thing
When everything's been said.
No need for fancy cards or flowery prose
Though I suppose
They make us feel less bad.
No need for long, drawn-out explaining
How and when, and why, this love came to an end
You still want to be my friend.
It's a goodbye song
A little bitter, but it's sweet
You always wanted one
It comes a little late, but it's complete
It's from the heart
Please remember: I love you dearly
Although we have to part.
No need to gather up the evidence
To justify the emptiness inside
No need to pray and turn for guidance to the Providence:
It simply won't provide.
No need to ask your friends
For well-intentioned Good Advice
They're happy to oblige.
(And though I know you want to)
No need to promise we will work it out
And start again
Let's simply turn the page.
It's a goodbye song
A little bitter, but it's sweet
And you always wanted one
It comes a little late, but it's complete
It's from the heart
Please remember: I love you dearly
Although we have to part.
So I won't cling to you
Because it's driving you away
No need for subterfuge
I've all run out of insights
And inspiring things to say.
No need to worry so about me
'Cause you know
I'm landing on my feet
A little late, but I'm complete.
I speak from the heart:
Please remember, I love you dearly
Although we have to part.
Please remember, I love you dearly
Although we have to part.
Elizaveta's song "Goodbye Song" is a poignant and sentimental tribute to the end of a relationship. The lyrics reflect the sadness that comes with saying goodbye, but ultimately offer a sense of closure and peace. The first verse speaks to the idea that material things, such as flutes and violins, or fancy cards and flowery language, cannot change the fact that a good thing has come to an end. The second verse encourages the listener not to hang on to false hope or seek guidance in places where it cannot be found, such as in prayers or from well-meaning friends. The final verse acknowledges the pain of separation and the desire to hold onto a love that has run dry, but also shows courage and acceptance as the singer realizes the futility of clinging on to something that is no longer viable.
Despite its melancholy tone, "Goodbye Song" is imbued with a sense of grace and dignity. It is a reminder that endings can also be beginnings and that letting go, while painful, is sometimes necessary for growth and renewal. The line "No need to promise we will work it out and start again/Let's simply turn the page" encapsulates this sentiment perfectly. Ultimately, the song is a tribute to the complex and emotional journey of love, loss, and healing.

i cant listen to this without crying
*Uptown*
3 years ago it would have made me cry. Up until a month or so ago.
But, there’s no point in crying over people who aren’t crying over you. It’s a hard place to reach...but when you get there it’s good.
