Say Goodbye
Haz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, I know we can't do this anymore
And I know we have to say goodbye
But I didn't want it to be this way...

I don't wanna say goodbye
And I want you to stay by my side

What I'm about to say, you haven't heard before
But I gotta be honest to myself cause I gotta let you go
You think I can be with you, you're a forbidden fruit
And I hate that religion came between us two
I don't wanna lose you, if I had to choose baby
The answer for that, is to be with you
I don't wanna go through, with tryna make it work
But I know that you don't wanna see me getting hurt

We started out meeting each other, once a week
We tried to be friends, but in the end we couldn't be
Baby you were so shy, and when you looked into my eyes
I knew you were the one for me, and I had to make you mine

I'm not tryna be selfish, but I feel like I want you all to myself
I can't help it, cause the way you kiss, you know you make me melt
I wanna be more than a friend, baby, love you till the end
Don't wanna throw all the beautiful memories away
But now I'm saying

Baby don't leave, baby, I want you to stay
I'll do everything to make it work
But I feel that we need to go our separate ways
Before we end up getting hurt

So how can I follow my heart, to let you go
When my heart chose to be with you
Why did we try from the start, if it wasn't right
But now we have to turn the page and say goodbye

Feels like I've known you all my life
We're just the same, sometimes you read my mind
I think about you all the time and it's killing me inside
When I know, one day you're gonna say goodbye

Oh baby, sleeping next to you, feels just like a dream
Baby you make me feel so good
You're the most beautiful thing
And I feel like I'm floating in the sea, this feeling is so different to me
I don't wanna leave you but I guess that I need too
Cause you're like a drug to me, I'm already stuck
Baby, I want you more everyday
So baby stay, baby please don't go away, cause I need you here with meeeee...

I'm not tryna be selfish, but I feel like I want you all to myself
I can't help it, cause the way you kiss, you know you make me melt
I want to be more than a friend, baby, love you till the end
Don't wanna throw all beautiful memories away

I'm not tryna be selfish, but I feel like I want you all to myself
I can't help it, cause the way you kiss, you know you make me melt
I want to be more than a friend, baby, love you till the end
Don't wanna throw all beautiful memories away

But now I'm saying
Baby don't leave, baby, I want you to stay
I'll do everything to make it work
But I feel that we need to go our separate ways
Before we end up getting hurt

So how can I follow my heart, to let you go
When my heart chose to be with you
Why did we try from the start, if it wasn't right
But now we have to turn the page and say goodbye

And baby I hate the situation that we're in
Girl you know that we belong
You're my lover, my best friend
And there's a reason I wrote this song
You're an angel from above, baby girl just be loved

So how can I follow my heart, to let you go
When my heart chose to be with you
Why did we try from the start, if it wasn't right
But now we have to turn the page and say goodbye

Baby don't leave, baby, I want you to stay
I'll do everything to make it work
But I feel that we need to go our separate ways
Before we end up getting hurt

So how can I follow my heart, to let you go
When my heart chose to be with you




Why did we try from the start, if it wasn't right
But now we have to turn the page and say goodbye
