Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Goodbye problem
Goodbye pain

I'm over you now
I'll never see you again

Goodbye problem
Goodbye pain

I'm over you now
I'll never see you again

I can't do it no more
I've decided
I have to let it all go
Tears, I've had them
Now I'm smiling

Never again
Never again

Goodbye problem
Goodbye pain

I'm over you now
I'll never see you again

Goodbye problem
Goodbye pain

I'm over you now
I'll never see you again

I can't do it no more
I've decided
I have to let it all go
Tears, I've had them
Now I'm smiling

Never again
Never again

When I had enough
And put my trust in the Lord
Everything in my life had to change
I'm not going back no more
I'm moving forward, ah oh

When I had enough
And put my trust in the Lord
Everything in my life had to change
I'm not going back no more
I'm moving forward

Never again
Never again
