Say Goodbye
S Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 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
The song โSay Goodbyeโ by S Club 7 is a passionate ballad about breaking up and coming to terms with the end of a relationship. The lyrics explore the idea of accepting that nothing lasts forever, and how even though saying goodbye can be painful, it is sometimes necessary for the greater good. The opening lines ask if the listener will remember the moments that were shared in the past, and wonder if they will think about them in the future. The following lines suggest that each day was lived with no regrets, but that the road ahead holds different dreams for the two people involved.
The chorus then repeats the phrase โSometimes goodbye though it hurts in your heart is the only way for destinyโ, highlighting the difficult choice that must be made in a relationship that has run its course. The singer acknowledges that this decision is never easy, and that it may be the hardest thing to say, but that true love never dies. The song then addresses the idea that time can undermine or heal the pain of goodbye, and that in the future there may be regret for things that were said. The chorus repeats again, reinforcing the idea that sometimes taking a painful step away is necessary to find oneself and to grow.
Overall, the lyrics of โSay Goodbyeโ are poetic and emotional, exploring the idea of a relationship that has run its course but still holds love, passion, and memories. The song offers reassurance that even though the goodbye may be permanent, the love shared is eternal and will always be a part of the people involved.

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 ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ Missing them ๐ They've been part of my childhood and I still remember waiting for their songs to be played on the radio back then. ๐ญ 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. โค๏ธ Just better prep tissues while watching ๐ญ
