Goodbye
Jamestown Story Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
they're too chapped for the words
to come out, you know the outcome so don't stall me now.
You've been holding all the cards when I'm all in, my luck
has turned into painful dismay
but I can't walk away cause I need you, yeah I need you.
Don't say goodbye, don't say you tried
Don't say goodbye
I know everyone has had their emotions ripped in half
but what I'd like to know is how I should
live with your actions, with your absence.
Is there something I can do to remove the memories of you?
Yeah I want to believe
this will all go away but I can't now, no I can't now.
God this hurts too much to breathe when you're not here next to me.
I can't breathe, I can't breathe without you....
The lyrics to Jamestown Story's song "Goodbye" depict a heartfelt plea from the singer to their partner not to leave. The beginning of the song portrays the singer's frustration as they hope for some communication from their partner, but their lips are too chapped to speak. The line "you know the outcome so don't stall me now" suggests that the partner has been distant or avoiding confrontation about their intentions to leave. Despite the pain and disappointment, the singer confesses their dependence on their partner, expressing that they can't simply walk away because they still need them.
The chorus of the song intensifies the plea, with the singer desperately asking their partner not to say goodbye, not to say that they've tried and have to walk away. It's a plea for the partner to reconsider, to find a way to avoid the painful separation. The second verse reveals the singer's struggle with accepting their partner's actions and learning to live without their presence. They question if there's anything they can do to erase the memories and move on, while acknowledging that it's difficult to let go. The line "Yeah I want to believe this will all go away but I can't now" signifies the singer's inner conflict and the unwillingness to let go of hope.
The song is filled with raw emotions, portraying the pain of a potential separation and the desperate desire to hold on to a failing relationship. It captures the fragility of love and the vulnerability that comes with the fear of being left behind.
