Here Comes Goodbye
Rascal Flatts㼀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And its not like her to drive that slow, nothings on the radio
Footsteps on the front porch, I hear my doorbell
She usually comes right in, now I can tell
Here comes goodbye, here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear I'm gonna cry
And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye
I can hear her say I love you like it was yesterday
And I can see it written on her face that she had never felt this way
One day I thought id see her with her daddy by her side
And violins would play here comes the bride
Here comes goodbye, here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear I'm gonna cry
Here comes the pain, here comes me wishing things had never changed
And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye
Why does it have to go from good to gone?
Before the lights turn on, yeah and you're left alone
All alone, but here comes goodbye
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Here comes goodbye, here comes the last time
Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear I'm gonna cry
Here comes the pain, here comes me wishing things had never changed
And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye

Aí vem o adeus ( tradução 🇧🇷)
Eu consigo ouvir os pneus da caminhonete vindo pela estrada.
E não é do feitio dela dirigir tão devagar, nada no rádio
Passos na varanda, eu ouço a campainha.
Ela geralmente entra direto, agora eu posso dizer
Aí vem o adeus, aí vem a última vez
Aí vem o começo de toda noite sem dormir
A primeira lágrima de todas que eu vou chorar
Aí vem a dor, aí vou eu desejando que as coisas não mudassem
E ela estava aqui nos meus braços hoje a noite, mas aí vem o adeus.
Eu consigo ouvir ela dizer "Eu te amo" como se fosse ontem
E eu consigo ver escrito no rosto dela que ela nunca se sentiu assim
Um dia eu pensei que veria ela, com seu pai do lado
E violinos tocariam "Aí vem a noiva".
Aí vem o adeus, aí vem a última vez
Aí vem o começo de toda noite sem dormir
A primeira lágrima de todas que eu vou chorar
Aí vem a dor, aí vou eu desejando que as coisas não mudassem
E ela estava aqui nos meus braços hoje a noite, mas aí vem o adeus.
Porque as coisas tem que ir de bom para acabado?
Antes que as luzes se acendam, você é deixado sozinho.
Totalmente sozinho, mas aí vem o adeus.
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Aí vem o adeus, aí vem a última vez
Aí vem o começo de toda noite sem dormir
A primeira lágrima de todas que eu vou chorar
Aí vem a dor, aí vou eu desejando que as coisas não mudassem
E ela estava aqui nos meus braços hoje a noite, mas aí vem o adeus... 💓

I hate how a song can just be a song until something happens in your life and it now becomes a flood of memories and you cant stop listening to it over and over..
Tyler 12
that is so true and it sucks really bad.But it brings back all the good memories of them
Shauwn Mitchell
I know exactly how you feel. Because I'm going through the same thing right now.
Tyler 12
Damn I'm sorry to hear that

It's happening to me right now! My grandma passed away last night, R.I.P grandma, I'll miss you so much!💖💖😭

For me, this song wasn't about someone dying. It was about finally realizing the one I loved wasn't mine and I had to let go. All songs are based on interpretation. This is a powerful song no matter how you need to say goodbye.
LaMonica Johnson
For me the same... ..hard to say goodbye though.
Dominic Vincent
Just heard for the first time ever while in the bedroom of the one I love as she walked out the door... Ouch

When is our true love actually ours. Most won't even put the effort anymore into a relationship due to trusting people
