Hello Goodbye
LadiPOE Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Hello hello goodbye
You must have called my name a thousand times by now
You try you try you try and even though your heart pretends it's over
I know it's hard to mend but you can't forget this love

I admit I was confused in my days growing up
My grades like my jeans in time I had to pull em up
That's the thing about life we soon forget to live it up

There's a part of us that dreams I just hope we keep in touch and so
Baby please don't vex did you read those texts
You want me home but I'm pretty sure we need those checks
Let me be whoever I'm gonna be
Hiding behind personas it simply won't work for me
I am Poe and women you know that you are my lady
Your dad and I share a name and one day we'll share a baby you and I
You tell me boy I know your talents are used to tipping the scale but lately u need balance and it's true
My brother hmm he thinks he's clever says that he's 6' 3
He looks up to me whenever he needs a little advice
He says he'll always feels better I know you'll travel the world but home is still in Ikeja

Hello hello goodbye
You must have called my name a thousand times by now
You try you try you try and even though your heart pretends it's over
I know it's hard to mend but you can't forget this love

There's no one left to lie to I admit I cry too
Did you know the use for pillows was to dry your tears at night
I've lost the biggest voices I rely on for advice
How I wish the pain was just a file that I could overwrite
Sometimes you have to let things go I hate goodbyes
Money never fills that hole with what it could buy
They came down and took your soul and I just stood by
But living with regrets plus rent that's huge price
It's like gravity has shifted
Like a weight on me has lifted
So much life in every minute
We just go ahead and live it oo
There's no bandage that can heal the pain
I know there's baggage but not all of it is yours to claim
Yeah we just have let it go
Goodbye is how we greet before we get a chance to say hello

Hello hello goodbye
You must have called my name a thousand times by now
You try you try you try and even though your heart pretends it's over
I know it's hard to mend but you can't forget this love
Hello hello goodbye
You must have called my name a thousand times by now
You try you try you try and even though your heart pretends it's over
I know it's hard to mend but you can't forget this love
You can't forget this love
Boy you know it baby
Ooou I know I know

Yeah yeah yeah
E mi no mo e mi no mo
