Jonas Brothers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say yes (yes)
I say no (no)
You say stop and I say go, go, go
Oh, no

You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello

I say high (you say low)
You say why (why)
And I say I don't know
Oh no

You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello

Why do you say a goodbye (goodbye)
Oh no

You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello, hello

Hello, goodbye (no)

Overall Meaning

In "Goodnight And Goodbye," the Jonas Brothers confront a rocky relationship. The lyrics suggest that the relationship has been tough and tumultuous, and the singer feels like he and his partner have "fallen apart." Despite this, however, he encourages his partner to see the potential in their love and how it could be "wonderful." Ultimately, though, he decides to say goodbye and move on from the relationship, admitting that he's done with the "roller coaster ride" and being "pushed around."


The song is a powerful anthem for anyone who has struggled in a difficult relationship and ultimately had to walk away. It emphasizes the importance of honesty and standing up for oneself, even if it means saying goodbye to someone you care about. The lyrics are also a testament to the complexities of love and the emotions that come with it, from the highs of passion to the lows of heartbreak.


Line by Line Meaning

This has been no walk in the park
This relationship has been difficult and challenging


I feel like we have fallen apart
I sense that our relationship has deteriorated


Open up your eyes girl and see how wonderful This love could be
Realize the potential of our relationship and how beautiful it could be


Hold on tight It's a roller coaster ride we're on so Say goodbye Cause I won't be back again Up and down you're all around Say goodnight and goodbye
Our relationship is like a roller coaster and it's time to say goodbye as it has become too unstable and unpredictable


You say you didn't mean to break my heart But girl you did but I'm over it
Even though you claim you didn't want to hurt me, you did, but I have moved on


Adieu to you and all your games And all you crazy friends This is the end
Farewell to your manipulative ways and your troublesome friends; we are done


Well girl I'm sorry for disappointing you But I'm done With being up and down and pushed around No more
I apologize for letting you down but I've had enough of the inconsistency and feeling powerless in this relationship

dude i don’t care they were so cool, 2020 jonas brothers don’t got nothing on 2009 jonas brothers.

@siriusblacksteponme6727

Totally agreeing with you but they were teenagers now they're adults and more mature so this has obviously changed

@Ar-ob9kx

Of course but I love both the version but 2009 version is way way more energetic

@kainoir8243

I agree back then in 09 i heard i look like joe jonas

@leavemealoha

I could never put my finger on it, but I felt like something was missing from the reunited JoBros. You are right: it is the energy. They don't seem to get as hyped anymore. Joe still dances with mic stand the same way (lol! XD), but they are a lot more layed back. Others might be right - it just comes with maturity.

@crayon7369
