Say Goodbye
No Angels Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who's sorry now?
You'd better learn how to say goodbye!
(See you later, now it's over )
All chances gone.
You'd better move on and try to find another love.
It's time to say goodbye!

What is wrong with you?
Why you're acting like a fool?
You don't need to hide, all the things you keep inside.
'Cause now I know, baby I was right.
You were playing with my mind and I already know.
So now it's time to go

Who's sorry now?
You'd better learn how to say goodbye!
(See you later, now it's over )
All chances gone.
You'd better move on and try to find another love.
It's time to say goodbye!

All the time I thought, boy I messed it up.
'Cause you tried to blame me for, not trusting you no more.
But now I see, all the time you lied.
All the time that I have cried, while you were having fun
'Cause I was not your only one!

Who's sorry now?
You'd better learn how to say goodbye!
(See you later, now it's over )
All chances gone.
You'd better move on and try to find another love.
It's time to say goodbye!

Now I wanna let you know
I don't need you anymore.
'Cause I don't need your lies, now pay the price for tearing up my heart.




I don't need your poor excuse, baby this time you will loose.
'Cause now I'm strong to carry on without you by my side!
