Goodbye My Love
Marion Raven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I made up my mind i have gotten good
Pretending everything's fine
I miss the oldest and I miss the old him
But nothing will survive the
Memories just linger in
We used to be so good, but I have changed
Though I never met someone like him before
The problem is that I don't love him anymore
And I am sure that pretty girls stay in line
Waiting for the moment when
His no longer mine
But in this game of his I'll never win
His love an ocean I am drowning in
Goodbye my love goodbye my man
This is hard for me to understand
Though I never met someone like him before
The problem is that I don't love him anymore
You can't lie to my
You can't lie to my heart
Oh we were perfect enough, for a single way
But what can I say?
You can't lie to my
You can't lie to my heart turns me a part
I don't know where to stop
Goodbye my man, goodbye my love
It's been a while now
Since I made up my mind i have gotten good
Pretending everything's fine

However, she confesses that she misses the person her partner used to be, but acknowledges that nothing can revive the memories that still linger.
The chorus reveals the singer's internal conflict. She acknowledges that she and her partner used to be good together, but she has changed and now feels like a stranger. Despite never having met someone like him before, she admits that she no longer loves him.

Line by Line Meaning
It's been a while now since
It has been a significant amount of time since
I made up my mind i have gotten good
I have made a decision and become skilled at pretending
Pretending everything's fine
Acting as if everything is okay
I miss the oldest and I miss the old him
I miss the person he used to be and the relationship we had
But nothing will survive the
However, nothing can withstand the
Memories just linger in
Only memories remain
We used to be so good, but I have changed
We used to have a strong relationship, but I have undergone a transformation
I wish I felt different but I'm a strange
I desire to feel differently, but I am peculiar
Though I never met someone like him before
Even though I have never encountered someone like him previously
The problem is that I don't love him anymore
The issue lies in the fact that I no longer have feelings of love for him
And I am sure that pretty girls stay in line
I am certain that attractive girls are waiting their turn
Waiting for the moment when
Anticipating the time when
His no longer mine
He is no longer with me
But in this game of his I'll never win
However, I will never succeed in this game that he plays
His love an ocean I am drowning in
His love is overwhelming and suffocating me
Goodbye my love goodbye my man
Farewell, my love, farewell, my partner
This is hard for me to understand
I find it difficult to comprehend
You can't lie to my
You cannot deceive me
You can't lie to my heart
You cannot deceive my emotions
Oh we were perfect enough, for a single way
We were adequate for a temporary period
But what can I say?
But what can I truly express?
You can't lie to my
You cannot deceive me
You can't lie to my heart turns me a part
You cannot deceive my emotions, which cause me pain
I don't know where to stop
I am uncertain of when to conclude
Goodbye my man, goodbye my love
Farewell, my partner, farewell, my love
It's been a while now
It has been a significant amount of time
Since I made up my mind i have gotten good
Since I made a decision and became skilled at pretending
Pretending everything's fine
Acting as if everything is okay
