Say Goodbye
S-Club & S Club Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the years to come
Will you think about these moments that we shared
In the years to come
Are you gonna think it over
And how we lived each day with no regrets
Nothing lasts forever though we want it to
The road ahead holds different dreams for me and you
Sometimes goodbye though it hurts in your heart is the only way for destiny
Sometimes goodbye though it hurts is the only way now for you and me
Though it's the hardest thing to say
I miss your love in every way
So say goodbye, but don't you cry
'Cause true love never dies

In a year from now
Maybe there will be things we wished we never said
In a year from now
Maybe we'll see each other
Standing in the same street corner, no regrets
Each and every end is always written in the stars
If only I could stop the world I'd make this last

Sometimes goodbye though it hurts in your heart is the only way for destiny
Sometimes goodbye though it hurts is the only way now for you and me
Though it's the hardest thing to say
I miss your love in every way
So say goodbye (so say goodbye), but don't you cry
'Cause true love never dies

And when you need my arms to run into
I'll come for you
Nothing will ever change the way I feel

Sometimes goodbye though it hurts in your heart is the only way for destiny
Sometimes goodbye though it hurts is the only way now for you and me
Though it's the hardest thing to say
I miss your love in every day




So say goodbye, but don't you cry
'Cause true love never dies

I was 12 years old when the band split up. I remember watching The Hit List on YTV and when this song came on, I cried for the full 4 minutes because such a great band that I grew up listening to religiously was spliting apart ): I now cry when listening to this song because I finally understand what this song is trying to say and I can relate to it.

S Club 7 😭😭😭 Missing them 💔 They've been part of my childhood and I still remember waiting for their songs to be played on the radio back then. 😭 Now this song hits differently after watching the KDrama called Queen For Seven Days. Dang! this song fits perfectly. I recommend you to watch it. It's a very beautiful true to life story of King Jungjong and Queen Dangyeong of Joseon Dynasty in Korea. ❤️ Just better prep tissues while watching 😭

Kira Robbins
