Goodbye for Now
P.O.D. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can still see the light at the end of the tunnel shine,
Through the dark times even when I lose my mind.
But it feels like no one in the world is listenin',
And I can't ever seem to make the right decisions.
I walk around in the same haze, I'm still caught in my same ways.
I'm losing time in these strange days,
But somehow I always know the right things to say.
I don't know what time it is,
Or who's the one to blame for this.
Do I believe what I can't see?
And how do you know which way the wind blows?
'Cause I can feel it all around,
I'm lost between the sound.
And just when I think I know, there she goes.

Goodbye for now, Goodbye for now (so long)
Goodbye for now,
I'm not the type to say I told you so.
Goodbye for now (so long)
I think the hardest part of holding on is lettin' it go.
When will we sing a new song? A new song.

I'm still smiling as the day goes by,
And how come nobody ever knows the reasons why?
Bury it deep, so far that you can't see.
If your like me, who wears a broken heart on your sleeve,
Pains and struggles that you know so well,
Either time don't, it can't, or it just won't tell.
I'm not the type to say I told you so,
I think the hardest part of holding on is lettin' it go.

I don't know what time it is,
Or who's the one to blame for this.
Do I believe what I can't see?
And how do you know which way the wind blows?
'Cause I can feel it all around,
I'm lost between the sound.
And just when I think I know, there she goes.

Goodbye for now, Goodbye for now (so long)
Goodbye for now,
I'm not the type to say I told you so.
Goodbye for now (so long)
I think the hardest part of holding on is lettin' it go.
When will we sing a new song? A new song.
When will we sing a new song? A new song.

And you can sing until there's no song left (song left)
And I can scream until the world goes deaf (goes deaf)
For every other word left unsaid,
You should've took the time to read the signs
And see what it meant (what it meant)
In some ways everybody feels alone,
So if the burden is mine then I can carry my own (carry my own)
If joy really comes in the morning time,
Then I'm gonna sit back and wait until the next sunrise.

Goodbye for now, goodbye for now (so long)
Goodbye for now,
I'm not the type to say I told you so.
Goodbye for now (so long)
I think the hardest part of holding on is lettin' it go.

LYRICS

I can still see the light
At the end of the tunnel shine
Through the dark times
Even when I lose my mind

But it feels like no one
In the world is listening
And I can't ever seem
To make the right decisions

I walk around in the same haze
I'm still caught in my same ways
I'm losing time in these strange days
But somehow I always know
The right things to say

I don't know what time it is
Or who's the one to blame for this
Do what I believe what I can't see
And how do you know
Which way the wind blows

Cause I can feel it all around
I'm lost between the sound
And just when I think
I know, there she goes

{chorus}
Goodbye for now
Goodbye for now
So long

Goodbye for now (I'm not the type to say I told you so)
Goodbye for now
So long (I think the hardest part of holding on is lettin go)

When will we sing
A new song
A new song

We're still smilin as the day goes by
And how come nobody
Ever knows the reasons why
Bury you deep so far
You can't see

If you're like me
Who wears a broken
Heart on your sleeve

Pains is troubles that
You know so well
Either time don't
It can't or you just won't tell

I'm not the type to say
I told you so
I think the hardest part
Of holding on is lettin it go
