Last Goodbye
The Avenue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cocktails and fingers through your hair
How about that
You like it like that
And poor boy seems so taken in
But I know your games are wearing thin
How about that
You like it like that
Still lighting up your dirty storms
Still laughing at all the same jokes
How about that (yeah)
You like it like that
Doesn't matter what you have to say
This ships already sailed away
Chorus
I don't really give a damn
Go and find another man
I don't wanna try and make it better
Never thought I'd let you go
Wasn't easy now I know
I don't think I could feel any better
So here's your last goodbye
Don't you pretend to cry
So here is your last goodbye
Don't you pretend to cry
No need for desperate alibies
You've always sucked at telling lies
How about that
What you think about that
Your still the queen of wannabes
Your mum will bring you to your knees
Chorus
Your tears they won't miss me
Your eyes they won't see me
Your lips will never kiss me
Your arms will never hold me
You thought I was the one but now I'm gone!
Chorus
In The Avenue's song Last Goodbye, the singer is in a social gathering, observing his ex-girlfriend from a distance. She's enjoying herself, sipping cocktails and twirling her hair, while an admirer is trying to impress her. However, the singer can see through her facade and knows that her tricks are starting to get old. He's not interested in rekindling their relationship, even though he's aware that it wasn't easy for him to move on. He's confident that he doesn't want to try and make things better or be with her anymore. He gives her a final goodbye, instructing her not to pretend to cry.
The lyrics express a sense of liberation from a toxic relationship that is no longer worth the effort. The singer sees his ex for who she is and doesn't want to be a part of her games anymore. The chorus is resolute and straightforward, suggesting that there's no room for second chances. The song provides a sense of closure, offering a definitive end to the relationship.

I see you standing over there
I can see you from afar
Cocktails and fingers through your hair
You're sipping on a drink and playing with your hair
How about that
Isn't that interesting
You like it like that
You enjoy behaving this way
And poor boy seems so taken in
The guy you're with appears to be captivated by you
But I know your games are wearing thin
Your manipulative behavior is becoming tiresome
Still lighting up your dirty storms
You're causing chaos and drama as usual
Still laughing at all the same jokes
You find the same things funny over and over again
Doesn't matter what you have to say
Your words won't change anything
This ships already sailed away
Our relationship is over and can't be salvaged
I don't really give a damn
I truly don't care
Go and find another man
Find someone else to manipulate and play games with
I don't wanna try and make it better
I'm not interested in fixing our relationship
Never thought I'd let you go
I never expected to break up with you
Wasn't easy now I know
It was difficult to end things, but I'm aware of why it was necessary
I don't think I could feel any better
I don't believe I could be any happier about this decision
So here's your last goodbye
This is our final parting
Don't you pretend to cry
I don't want any fake emotions from you
No need for desperate alibies
You don't have to make up excuses
You've always sucked at telling lies
You've never been good at lying
What you think about that
What are your thoughts on that
Your still the queen of wannabes
You still try to be someone you're not
Your mum will bring you to your knees
Even your mother can't control you
Your tears they won't miss me
Your crying won't make me change my mind
Your eyes they won't see me
You won't see me again
Your lips will never kiss me
We will never have intimacy again
Your arms will never hold me
We will never be close again
You thought I was the one but now I'm gone!
You believed we were meant to be, but now I'm no longer part of your life
