Friday Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't deny my past ent perfect too,
Singin, I'm not here to get false answers
But just like you I got true questions too (yeah)
I never wanna let you go,
In ya eyes I can tell that is what we both know,
I neva wanna see you cry,
(Baby, Baby, Baby)
[Chorus]
I wanted you to go your way,
I wanted me to go mine,
I, sittin here thinking,
Passing the time,
I wanted you to go your way,
I wanted me to go mine,
I never thought you'd say,
Baby goodbye
Hearin your voice just makes me remember,
All those times when we were nothing more than friends,
I knew you, you knew me, and everything was plain to see,
How did I let us get so deep?
I never wanna let you go,
In ya eyes I can tell that is what we both know,
I neva wanna see you cry,
Or love so burn baby let it die,
(Baby, Baby, Baby)
[Chorus]
I wanted you to go your way,
I wanted me to go mine,
I, sittin here thinking,
Passing the time,
I wanted you to go your way,
I wanted me to go mine,
I never thought you'd say,
Baby goodbye
[Rap]
Sure, I looked in ya eyes then I said,
Baby I loved all the time that we spent,
Then you replied with a tear in ya eye,
It should come to an end then we'll both be friends,
Both shed tears then we sat for a while,
That stone cold fear then putting on a smile,
Know that your leavin looking to the sky,
That one dark evening killin me inside,
Through a new doorway to a next life,
Cuz you've gone you way and I'll go mine,
Yo, I still see ya face though we've both been apart,
I know you've got your place deep in my heart,
Sure, I just feel so down,
Mite come around but its for the best now,
Both broke down and I'm choked inside,
And from the first time when I said baby goodbye,
Baby I tried to understand,
Why ya had to leave me,
And why ya had to be free,
Lady I hope you understand,
(I didn't disagree, and why we weren't meant to be)
[Chorus (x3) (3rd time softly sung)]
I wanted you to go your way,
I wanted me to go mine,
I, sittin here thinking,
Passing the time,
I wanted you to go your way,
I wanted me to go mine,
I never thought you'd say,
Baby goodbye
The lyrics of Friday Hill's "Baby Goodbye" express the pain and confusion of a failed relationship. The singer realizes that he and his partner have grown apart, and that it's time to say goodbye. He sees in her eyes that she feels the same way, and they both know that it's time to move on. While he wishes her well and hopes that they can still be friends, he can't help feeling sad about the end of their time together.
The chorus repeats the sentiment that both parties want to go their separate ways, but the singer never expected his partner to actually say "baby goodbye" and make it official. The rap verse further expresses the emotions of the breakup, with both parties shedding tears and trying to put on a brave face as they say goodbye.
The song captures the complex mix of emotions that come with the end of a relationship - the sadness, the confusion, the longing for what once was. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has experienced a difficult breakup or had to say goodbye to someone they cared about.
