Say Goodbye
Love Is Red Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I try to run, but your love embraces my pain
I'm never willing to give enough
I'm never willing to cherish the things I have
I always make selfish mistakes, and fall flat on my back
Say Goodbye to the life that you once led
Say Goodbye to the memories in your head
From this day on, life will never be the same
I can feel you, all around me, pulling me closer to you
these last few months, have been so hard,
but my faith has struggled through
I want you to die, your words have ruined so much of my faith
every empty promise you have ever made
has come back to kill another life inside of me
please just die so I can be set free
I never wanted any of this
Say Goodbye.
The opening lines of Love Is Red's song "Say Goodbye" express the singer's struggle with falling away from something that they are attached to. It could represent a relationship, an addiction, or any other emotional attachment in their life. They try to pull away, but the love that they feel keeps pulling them back into the fray. They are unable to resist the pull of their emotions, even though it may cause them pain. They see things that bring back memories and try to hold onto them, but they know that they have to let go.
As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges that they are the one causing their own pain. They are not willing to give enough, to cherish the things that they have, or to avoid making selfish mistakes. They recognize that they have fallen flat on their back, and they need to say goodbye to the life that they once led. The singer contemplates that life will never be the same from this day forward, as they start to take action in order to change their fate. They claim that they feel their attachment all around them, pulling them closer, even though it's caused them pain in the past.
The final verses of the song express the singer's anger towards something or someone that has shown them empty promises and ruined their faith. Through their distress, they plead for this thing or person to "just die" so that they can be set free from their pain. They never wanted any of it but must say goodbye to it in order to move on.
