Time to Say Goodbye
Simple Plan(简单计划) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm tryin' to make things right, but to shove it in my face
And all those things you've done to me I cant erase
And I can't keep this inside
It's time to say goodbye
On the first day that I met you
I should have known to walk away
And disappeared without a trace
But instead I stood there waiting
Hoping you would come around
But you always found your way to let me down
[Chorus]
It's time to say goodbye (I just don't want to waste another day)
It's time to say goodbye (cause things won't ever be the same)
It's time to say goodbye (you made me see I need to walk away)
It's time to say goodbye
After all the things I've done for you
You never tried to do the same
It's like you always play the victim
And I'm the one you always blame
When you need someone to save you
When you think you're gonna drown
Cuz if you just wrap your arms around me and pull me down
[Chorus]
Now I'm gone, it's too late
You can't fix your mistakes
I was trying to save you from you
So you scream, so you cry
I can see through your lies
You're just trying to change me
Somewhere in the distance there's a place for me to go
I don't want you to hate me, but I think you need to know
You're weighing on my shoulders, and I'm sick of feeling down
So I guess it's time for me to say goodbye

Line by Line Meaning
I just don't wanna waste another day
I do not wish to spend any more time in vain
I'm tryin' to make things right, but to shove it in my face
Despite my efforts, you continue to remind me of my wrongdoings
And all those things you've done to me I cant erase
Your past actions towards me have left a permanent mark
And I can't keep this inside
I cannot suppress my feelings any longer
It's time to say goodbye
It is time for me to depart from this relationship
On the first day that I met you
From the moment we met
I should have known to walk away
I should have ended things before they began
I should have told you you were crazy
I should have recognized and acknowledged your unpredictable behavior
And disappeared without a trace
And vanished without leaving any traces behind
But instead I stood there waiting
But instead, I patiently waited for change that never came
Hoping you would come around
Expecting you to change your ways and come to your senses
But you always found your way to let me down
But you always managed to disappoint me
After all the things I've done for you
Despite all that I have done for you
You never tried to do the same
You never attempted to reciprocate the same level of effort
It's like you always play the victim
You habitually portray yourself as the one being wronged
And I'm the one you always blame
And you consistently shift the blame onto me
When you need someone to save you
Whenever you require a savior
When you think you're gonna drown
When you feel like you are drowning
Cuz if you just wrap your arms around me and pull me down
Because you tend to bring me down with you instead of raising me up
Now I'm gone, it's too late
Now that I have left, it is too late to make amends
You can't fix your mistakes
You are unable to rectify your errors
I was trying to save you from you
I was attempting to rescue you from yourself
So you scream, so you cry
You react with outbursts of anger and tears
I can see through your lies
I can decipher your dishonesty
You're just trying to change me
Your objective is to alter me and not to accept me for who I am
Somewhere in the distance there's a place for me to go
There is somewhere else where I can find my peace and happiness
I don't want you to hate me, but I think you need to know
I would prefer if you did not harbor any ill feelings towards me, but I believe you should be aware of the truth
You're weighing on my shoulders, and I'm sick of feeling down
You are causing me undue emotional burden, and I am tired of feeling dejected
So I guess it's time for me to say goodbye
Therefore, I suppose it is time for me to move on and say farewell

Haven’t heard this song in ages.... so glad my mind randomly remembered this song and I immediately went to YouTube in search of this song! Songs can really bring you back in time, I used to worship this song when I was going through a bad breakup and sing this song out loud in anger and with my eyes rolling! This song definitely comforted me when I was at my lowest ❤️ thank you simple plan
