Last Goodbye
Gufs The Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We stood all alone
Waiting for this day to come
And I held you close
But I couldn't feel your pain

I didn't know
This would be the last time
This would be the last kiss

This was our goodbye

If you were letting go
I should've been the one you told
I never heard you say goodbye
And I'm sorry isn't good enough

Because lately I've been giving up
And I'm sorry isn't good enough
And your last goodbye
Made me realize

I'll be alright
How could you laugh?
How could you lie to me?
You held me close

But I couldn't feel your pain
I should've known
This couldn't last forever
The last thing I remember

Was standing all alone
If you were letting go
I should've been the one you told
I never heard you say goodbye

And I'm sorry isn't good enough
Because lately I've been giving up
And I'm sorry isn't good enough
And your last goodbye

Made me realize I'll be alright
And so suddenly
I've stopped falling down
I believe in me one more time

And I'm sorry
And I'm sorry isn't good enough
Sorry
I'm sorry

And I'm sorry isn't good enough
I'm sorry isn't good enough

I'm sorry
I'm sorry

Line by Line Meaning

We stood all alone
We were alone together

Waiting for this day to come
We were both anticipating this day

And I held you close
I hugged you tightly

But I couldn't feel your pain
I couldn't understand the pain you were going through

I didn't know
I was unaware

This would be the last time
This would be the final encounter

This would be the last kiss
This would be the final kiss

This was our goodbye
This marked our farewell

If you were letting go
If you were ending things

I should've been the one you told
I should have been informed about it

I never heard you say goodbye
I didn't hear you say farewell
