Goodbye I'm Sorry
Jamestown Story Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For me,
Everything's distant and I don't know what to believe
It's so hard,
Lost in the world confusion and I need to leave,
For awhile,
Life is so meaningless there is nothing worth a smile,
So goodbye,
And I'm sorry,
But this is my fate.
Everything is worthless,
No one who wants me to stay,
And I'm sorry,
But I've waited too long,
So here's my goodbye,
No one will cry over, me,
I'm not worth any tears.
It's been the years, of abuse,
Neglected to treat the disorder that's controls my youth,
For so long,
I'm in a fleshy tomb buried up above the ground,
It's no use,
Why should I hold on?
It's been five years
Don't need one more
So goodbye,
Life's abuse,
And I'm sorry,
But this is my fate,
Everything is worthless,
No one who wants me to stay
And I'm sorry,
But I've waited too long,
So here's my goodbye,
No one will cry over, me,
I'm not worth any tears.
Every 18 minutes,
Somebody dies from a sucide.
Every 43 seconds,
Somebody attempts one.
If you or anybody you know is suicidal,
Call 1-800-784-2433.
And I'm sorry,
But this is my fate.
Everything is worthless,
No one who wants me to stay,
And I'm sorry,
But I've waited too long,
So here's my goodbye,
No one will cry over me,
So here's my goodbye,
No one will cry over, me,
I'm not worth any tears.
The lyrics of "Goodbye I'm Sorry" by Jamestown Story express a deep sense of despair and hopelessness. The singer feels disconnected from the world and can't find meaning in life. The lines "Everything's distant and I don't know what to believe" and "Life is so meaningless, there is nothing worth a smile" express feelings of confusion and disillusionment. The singer acknowledges that leaving behind loved ones is difficult, but ultimately decides to end their life because they feel like they are not worth anyone's tears.
The lyrics reveal that the singer has been struggling with a mental disorder for a long time, but has been neglected and hasn't received the treatment they needed. The lines "It's been the years of abuse, neglected to treat the disorder that's controls my youth" convey a sense of frustration and bitterness towards a life that has been a constant struggle. However, the singer realizes that their decision to end their life is not a solution, but a result of waiting too long to get the help they needed.
The song ends with a powerful message about suicide awareness, and the singer urges anyone who is struggling to seek help. The lines "Every 18 minutes, somebody dies from a suicide. Every 43 seconds, somebody attempts one" serve as a call to action to prevent others from ending their life in the same way.

For awhile,
I need to take a break from everything for a while
Life is so meaningless there is nothing worth a smile,
Life has lost its meaning and there's nothing to be happy about
So goodbye,
