Goodbye
Jessica Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see the pain living in your eyes
And i know how hard you try
You deserve to have so much more
I can feel your hurt and I sympathize
And I'll never critisize
All you ever meant to my life
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want hold you back from where you might belong

You would never ask me why,
my heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself,
than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say - but goodbye

You deserve a chance of the kind of love,
I'm not sure I'm worthy of
Losing you is painful for me
I don't want let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want hold you back from where you might belong

You would never ask me why,
my heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself,
than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say - but goodbye

You would never ask me why,
my heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself,
than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to try,
and though it's gonna hurt us both,
there's no other way than to say goodbye

Jessica's song "Goodbye" was not very popular in the U.S., but rather a big hit in Korea. This may be the reason why the lyrics and melodies of the song are approaching Korean sentiment more loudly.

Whenever I listen to this song, I think of a woman who dated before marriage, so I miss and feel sorry for that time. I wonder how she is doing. Everyone's gone, and now I miss them all.
