Friday Hill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look in your eyes I see a new story,
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,
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 good 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 good 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 good time,
I wanted you to go your way,
I wanted me to go mine,




I never thought you'd say,
Baby goodbye

Overall Meaning

The song "Baby Goodbye" by Friday Hill is a ballad about a break-up between two people who have been close friends. The opening lines suggest that the singer sees something new in the eyes of their partner, perhaps a sense of distance, and recognizes that their own past is not perfect either. They are not looking for false answers, but acknowledge that both parties have real questions that need to be addressed. The chorus sees the singer expressing their desire to go their separate ways, but also acknowledging the pain of leaving someone they care about and never expecting to hear those devastating words, "baby goodbye".


The verses describe the singer's struggle to process the end of their relationship. Hearing their partner's voice reminds them of their past as friends and they question how they let matters become so complicated. The rap segment adds another voice to the conversation, expressing regret and sadness at the thought of the two people going their separate ways. The song's final section outlines the singer's attempt to understand why their partner had to leave and ultimately coming to the conclusion that they were not "meant to be".
