Shouldn't Be a Good In Goodbye
Jason Walker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

After the silence, after the last words.
Caught in the silence. Caught in between.
After the madness. After the slow shock.
Before the wave hits, the flood comes rushing in.

This is the bad before the worse.
This is the storm before the storm
I haven't even hit the bottom of this ocean floor.
This is the bend before the break.
This is the mercy not the grace.
This is the proof and not the faith i try to find.
There shouldn't be a good in goodbye.

If I never loved you, if I never felt your kiss.
If I never had you. I know that I...I still would have mourned you.
I would have missed your smile.
If it wasn't so worth it, this wouldn't be...
Oh this wouldn't be the bad before the worse and the storm before the storm.

I haven't even hit the bottom of this ocean floor.
This is the bend before the break.
This is the mercy not the grace.
This is the proof and not the faith I try to find.
There shouldn't be a good in goodbye.

I know this is gonna get better ohh.
I know this is gonna get better ohh.
I know.

This is the bitter not the sweet.
This is the take and not the keep.
And I haven't even reached the bottom of this ocean floor.

This is the bend before the break.
This is the mercy not the grace.
This is the proof and not the faith I try to find.
There shouldn't be a good in goodbye.
Yeah. There shouldn't be good in goodbye.





There shouldn't be a good in goodbye.

Overall Meaning

The song 'Shouldn't Be a Good In Goodbye' by Jason Walker is a heartbreakingly honest depiction of the feelings experienced by someone going through a tough breakup. The lyrics evoke feelings of pain, sadness, and regret. The opening lines talk about the silence after the last words have been spoken, capturing the raw emotions felt at the end of a relationship. The singer is caught in the silence, stuck in between two different worlds, trying to grasp the situation. Before the wave hits, the singer faces a flood of emotions and is waiting to hit the bottom of the ocean floor. It's as if the singer is bracing for more difficult times, and the worst of the turmoil is yet to come.


The chorus of the song is particularly poignant. The line "There shouldn't be a good in goodbye" suggests that perhaps the end of a relationship should be all bad, in keeping with the pain felt by the singer. However, there must have been positive aspects to the relationship too, or it wouldn't be so difficult to let go. This sentiment is echoed in the lyric, "If it wasn't so worth it, this wouldn't be... Oh, this wouldn't be the bad before the worse and the storm before the storm." As painful as the breakup may be, the singer acknowledges that the relationship was worth something, and therefore, the goodbye cannot be all bad.


Overall, this song is a powerful reflection on heartbreak and moving on. It captures the universal feeling that sometimes there shouldn't be any good in goodbye, but despite the pain, there is hope that things will get better.

After the silence, after the last words. 
Caught in the silence. Caught in between. After the madness. 
After the slow shock. 
Before the wave hits, the flood comes rushing in. 

Sessizlikten sonra, son kelimelerden sonra. 
Sessizlikte tutuklu. Arada tutuklu. Delilikten sonra. 
Yavaş şoktan sonra. 
Dalga vurmadan, sel israrla basar. 

This is the bad before the worse. 
This is the storm before the storm? 
I haven't even hit the bottom of this ocean floor. 
This is the bend before the break. 
This is the mercy not the grace. 
This is the proof and not the faith i try to find. There shouldn't be a good in goodbye. 

Bu daha kötüden önceki kötü. 
Bu firtinadan önceki firtina. 
Henüz denizin dibine bile varmadim. 
Bu bitişten önceki viraj. 
Bu merhamet, lütuf degil. 
Bu ispat, bulmaya calistigim inanc degil. Hoscakal'da 'hos' kelimesi olmamaliydi. 

If i never loved you, if i never felt your kiss. 
If i never had you. I know that I'd..I still would have mourned you. I would have missed your smile. 
If it wasn't so worth it, this wouldn't be..oh this? wouldn't be the the bad before the worse. 
The storm before the storm. 
I haven't even hit the bottom of this ocean floor. 
This is the bend before the break. 
This is the mercy not the grace. 
This is the proof and not the faith i try to find. There shouldn't be a good in goodbye.

Seni hic sevmemis olsaydim, öpüsünü hic hissetmemis olsaydim. 
Hic benim olmamis olsaydin. Biliyorum ki ozamanda hala yasini tutar olurdum. Gülümseyisini özler olurdum. 
Buna degmeseydi öyle olmazdi bu? Daha kötüden önceki kötü olmazdi. 
Firtinadan önceki firtina. 
Henüz denizin dibine bile varmadim. 
Bu bitişten önceki viraj. 
Bu merhamet, lütuf degil. 
Bu ispat, bulmaya calistigim inanc degil. Hoscakal'da 'hos' kelimesi olmamaliydi.

Biliyorum bu iyiye dönecek ohh. 
Biliyorum bu aci olan, tatli olan degil. 
Bu alma zamani, tutma zamani degil. 
Ve ben henüz denizin dibine bile varamadim.
