Goodbye
SKAN Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you go, I go with you,
You gave all you had to give,
Don't mind all these silent tears,
Should've spent so much more time with you,
Days turn to years now, deal with memories, how?
You gave all you had,
Should've spent so much more time with you,
Love feels like a lie, your loss in my eyes,

My mind 'bout to die,
Should've spent more time with you,
I just wanna see your smile, shining in the sky,
So I could say goodbye,
So many things I would like to say,
Many things I'd like to show ya,
I swear, you're gon' be so proud of me,
Should've spent so much more time with you,
Love feels like a lie, your loss in my eyes,
My mind 'bout to die,
Should've spent more time with you,
I just wanna see your smile, shining in the sky,
So I could say goodbye,
So many things I would like to say,
Many things I'd like to show ya,
I swear, you're gon' be so proud of me,
I swear, you're gon' be so proud of me,
If you go, I go with you,
You gave all you had to give,
Don't mind all these silent tears,
Should've spent so much more time with you,
Days turn to years now, deal with memories, how?
You gave all you had,
Should've spent so much more time with you,
Love feels like a lie, your loss in my eyes,
My mind 'bout to die,
Should've spent more time with you,

I just wanna see your smile, shining in the sky,
So I could say goodbye,
