McFly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In case I fall and break apart,
I'm not God I can't change the stars,
And I don't know if there's life on Mars,
But I know you hurt,
The people that you love and those who care for you,
I want nothing to do with the things you're going through.
I give up this heart of mine,
I'm telling you that I'm,
A broken man who's finally realized,
You're standing in moonlight,
But you're black on the inside,
Whoo oo oo ooo
Do you think you ought to cry?
This is goodbye.
I'm a little dazed and confused,
Life's a bitch and so are you,
All my days have turned into nights,
'cause living without, without, without you in my life,
And you wrote the book on how to be a liar,
And lose all your friends,
Did I mean nothing at all?
Was I just another ghost that's been in your bed?
'cause this is the last time,
I give up this heart of mine,
I'm telling you that I'm,
A broken man who's finally realized,
You're standing in moonlight,
But you're black on the inside,
Whoo oo oo ooo,
Do you think you ought to cry?
This is goodbye.
Yeah!
Turn on the radio honey,
'cause every single sad song you'll be able to relate!
This one I'm taken
Whoa oh!
Don't get all emotional baby,
You can never talk to me your unable to communicate!
This is the last time,
I give up this heart of mine,
I'm telling you that I'm,
A broken man who's finally realized...
This is the last time,
I give up this heart of mine,
I'm telling you that I'm,
A broken man who's finally realized,
You're standing in moonlight,
But you're black on the inside,
Whoo oo oo ooo,
Do you think you are to cry?
This is goodbye.
This is Goodbye
The opening lines of McFly's song "Bubble Wrap" reveal the singer’s vulnerability as he wishes he could protect his heart with bubble wrap since he's afraid of getting hurt again. He doesn't want to fall and break apart so he wishes he could shield himself from the pain of heartbreak. The second verse paints a different picture of the person he's singing about as he sings about the person who's caused the hurt. The person he sings about is incapable of dealing with emotions and hurting those who care for them. The line, "I want nothing to do with the things you're going through," shows that the singer has finally reached the point of letting go of an unhealthy relationship.
As the song progresses, the chorus is repeated, with the singer showing that he's ready to move on and say goodbye. The line "you're standing in moonlight, but you're black on the inside" means that the person he is addressing may look like they have everything going well in their life, but their insides are filled with negativity and hurt. He doesn't want anything more to do with them and has made the decision to let go of the relationship.
The bridge of the song adds to the intensity of the "goodbye" message. The singer talks about how the person has lied and lost all their friends, and how he doesn't want to be another ghost in their bed. The vivid description emphasizes how toxic the relationship was.
Overall, the song "Bubble Wrap" is about self-preservation, learning to let go of unhealthy relationships, and moving on from toxic people.

You have difficulty expressing yourself and communicating with me.
This is goodbye.
This is the permanent end of our relationship.
