Never Goodbye
Lethal Injektion Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And to you my friend, that once was alive
We used to stay up and laugh all night
And you are there and I′m right here
Now it's my time to say goodbye

Well it′s never goodbye
It will always be later
And it's never goodbye

It will always be later

You never know when your times up
Stay close to the ones you love
Cause you never know when it's time to go
Remember every moment
Cherish and keep on holding
I lost my pop to soldiers
Taken without no warning
Life goes on so they say
Even though your gone away
Some things around have changed
I′m still carrying on your name
Think about you every day
Some harder than other days
It′s never goodbye, just a reunion at a later date

And you are there and I'm right here
Now it′s my time to say goodbye

Well it's never goodbye
It will always be later
And it′s never goodbye
It will always be later

And to my loves that were once in my life
We used to be, be alright
And you are there and I'm right here
Now it′s my time to say goodbye

Well it's never goodbye
It will always be later

And it's never goodbye
It will always be later

And to you my friend, that once was alive
Addressing a deceased friend

We used to stay up and laugh all night
Reminiscing about the good times spent together

And you are there and I′m right here
Acknowledging the friend's absence

Now it's my time to say goodbye
Accepting that it's time to part ways

Well it's never goodbye
Believing the friend's presence still exists

It will always be later
Death is not the end, but a temporary separation

You never know when your times up
Emphasizing the uncertainty of life and death

Stay close to the ones you love
Valuing relationships while they last

Cause you never know when it's time to go
Life is unpredictable and fleeting

Remember every moment
Appreciating the memories made

Cherish and keep on holding
Treasure the time spent together
