Wingo was a late addition to the group, added after Kandi Burruss of Xscape recommended he be added. Kandi was also the one who brought the group to the attention of Dupri. The group, with a style similar to New Edition, Jodeci, and Dru Hill, has had a number of hit singles, many of which are produced by Dupri.
Identical twin brothers Brian Casey and Brandon Casey, Kyle Norman, and Richard Wingo--known collectively as Jagged Edge--have built the group's career and reputation from one simple premise: make great music and make sure the music's for real.
2) A melodic rock band, Jagged Edge UK featuring guitarist Myke Gray. Released their debut EP, Trouble in early 1990, followed by the full-length Fuel For Your Soul .
3) Drum & Bass collaboration of Optical & Ryme Tyme from the United Kingdom
Goodbye
Jagged Edge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes it the hardest thing for you to do
And that's real
'Cause I know that I love you
I know how I feel about you
But I also know that I don't make everything alright
And for that reason
I gotta say goodbye
Tell me have you ever been in a
Situation where the best thing you could do
was the hardest thing you've ever done
But you try to do whats right
And I know that deep down inside
That I really wanna be there by your side
But I can't stand to see you cry
Not when it's because of me
And it's over, I'll never love another
I'm always thinking of her, I'm doing this because of her
Don't wanna say goodbye
I don't wanna let her see me cry
Looking out the window and wondering why
Did we have to say all those things that we said last night
Baby I don't wanna say goodbye
So I'm just standing here wondering why
Just don't like to see when you cry
So I'ma say goodbye
If you think I 'cause I packed your stuff
That inside I ain't really really cracking up
'Cause you're wrong, I just hide it good
'Cause I know that's what you need
And there's more to life than loving yourself
You gotta learn to love somebody else
And that's why I do the things that I do
And its over, I'll never love another
I'm always thinking of her, I'm doing this because of her
Don't wanna say goodbye
I don't wanna let her see me cry
Looking out the window and wondering why
Did we have to say all those things that we said last night
Baby I don't wanna say goodbye
So I'm standing here wondering why
Just don't wanna see when you cry
So I'ma say goodbye
There's no one in this world that can ever take your place
All the love that we share, it can never be erased
And I know that, that it hurts so bad
And it's so that, that you're the best I've had
There's no one in this world that can ever take your place
All the love that we share, it can never be erased
And I know that, that it hurts so bad
And it's so that, that you're the best I've had
There's no one in this world that can ever take your place
All the love that we share, it can never be erased
And I know that, that it hurts so bad
And it's so that, that you're the best I've had
There's no one in this world that can ever take your place
All the love that we share, it can never be erased
And I know that, that it hurts so bad
And it's so that, that you're the best I've had
The lyrics to Jagged Edge's song Goodbye explore the difficulty of making the right decision when it's also the hardest one to make. The singer knows he loves the other person and cares about them deeply, but he also understands that he can't be everything to them. He's decided that saying goodbye is the best thing for both of them, even if it's incredibly painful. The singer also speaks to the feeling of wanting to be there for someone but not being able to handle seeing them upset, which adds to the complexity of the situation.
Throughout the verses, the singer expresses the internal conflict he feels. He wants to stay, but knows he must go to make things better. The chorus repeats the conflicting emotions, with the singer not wanting to say goodbye but realizing it's the right thing. The bridge emphasizes just how much the singer cares for the other person and acknowledges the pain he's feeling. He knows that what they had was special, and he's not willing to replace that with anything else.

Every single freaking time in the end I cry when I see the little girl with the bear. Imagine how many children, never saw their mommy or daddy after 9/11. Heart wrenching.
