Time to Say Goodbye
Radio Feelings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time goes by, but I can't forget
I don't know why I still regret
Memories like knife
Memories, photographs

Do you know? Do you know?
Do you know you're a piece of my heart?
Love the air
I should leave (leave is breathin')
And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep at night
I dream of you (but one day)
I'll break this wall (and I'll go away)
It's time to say, it's time to say goodbye

Time goes by and I'm still waiting
You never be mine, I'm so frustrated
I wanna see you smile

Do you know? Do you know?
Do you know you're a piece of my heart?
Love the air
I should leave (leave is breathin')
And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep at night
I dream of you (but one day)
I'll break this wall (and I'll go away)
It's time to say, it's time to say goodbye





Time goes by, but I can't forget
I don't know why I still regret
