Goodbye
Mimi Webb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This isn't me bein' dramatic, God knows this part isn't fun
I didn't drive two full hours just to mess with your head
Listen to me closely, this is our love's dyin' breath
Oh, I tried to be someone else for this love, but oh, does it feel so strange
'Cause I know my mind won't change
'Cause baby, you changed and so have I
You miss the old me, so young, dumb and happy
But that girl is gone and now it's time
Oh, to kiss me goodbye
Every room you walked in, effortlessly you'd shine
I was happy just to be there, watching from the sideline
And this room is on fire, but we're dancing real slow
Can't pretend anymore, even my dad knows
Oh, I tried to be someone else for this love, but oh, does it feel so strange
'Cause I know my mind won't change
I miss the old you but that ain't the whole truth
'Cause baby, you changed and so have I (so have I, so have I, so have I)
You miss the old me, so young, dumb and happy
But that girl is gone and now it's time
Oh, to kiss me goodbye
Bye, bye
Bye, bye
Bye, bye
Bye
So kiss me goodbye
The lyrics of Mimi Webb's song "Goodbye" convey a bittersweet and introspective message about the end of a relationship. The singer begins by emphasizing that what she is about to say is important and asks to be allowed to speak until she's finished. She assures the listener that she isn't being dramatic but acknowledges that this particular part of their relationship isn't enjoyable. The distance she traveled to deliver this message indicates the seriousness and importance she attaches to it.
The singer then reflects on her attempts to change herself for the sake of love, but deep down, she realizes that it feels strange and unnatural. She acknowledges that her mind won't change, indicating that she can no longer continue in the same way. The chorus reveals the longing for the old version of her partner and herself, but simultaneously recognizes that they have both changed. The singer acknowledges that the youthful, carefree version of herself is gone, and it's time to say goodbye.
The second verse adds depth to the relationship by emphasizing how the partner used to shine effortlessly in every room, while the singer was content merely to observe from the sidelines. However, the room they now find themselves in is "on fire," perhaps symbolizing the intensity of their issues. The singer admits that pretending is no longer possible, highlighting the fact that even her father has noticed the deterioration in the relationship.
The song concludes with a simple yet powerful refrain of "Bye, bye, bye, bye, so kiss me goodbye," repeating the sentiment that it is finally time to end things and move on.

And this room is on fire, but we're dancing real slow
Although the situation is chaotic and intense, we continue to move in a slow, synchronized dance
Can't pretend anymore, even my dad knows
I can no longer feign or deceive anyone, not even my father is unaware
Bye, bye
Farewell, farewell
So kiss me goodbye
Therefore, give me a goodbye kiss

@Johnny-pk5gg
it's ridiculous how underrated she is. she is easily my favorite singer right now and it's not even close.
@mokaLARE
Underrated ? π Her last video got millions of views in 4 months while she has less than 100k subscribers. And itβs been JUST two years since she started singing. Not every singer blows overnight. She just needs time.
@filipe_goncalvesss
@@mokaLARE no sheβs underrated
@Oscarmisation
Agree me too
