The Blackout Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's getting hard to hold.
'Cause I believe in every word
Of all the rumours I've been told about you.
And I'd never thought it would ever end up like this,
That I'd be the one that you'd always miss,
That you'd always miss, that you'd always miss.
You're looking for the one way out,
Waiting for the last goodbye, how could you say,
Never knew, never knew it was coming, no.
Never knew, never knew it was coming, no.
If you've always felt this way,
Why was I the last to know.
Yeah I believed that every day
We were on the same damn page.
And maybe I never thought it would ever end up this way,
Never thought I would ever just walk away,
Just walk away, just walk away.
You're looking for the one way out,
Waiting for the last goodbye, how could you say,
Never knew, never knew it was coming, no.
Never knew, never knew it was coming, no.
You're looking for the one way out,
Waiting for the last goodbye, how could you say,
Never knew, never knew it was coming, no.
Never knew, never knew it was coming, no.
Take me with you, even if it's only in your head.
When you come back to me, stay forever in my bed.
One way out, last goodbye, how could you say,
One way out, how could you say, last goodbye.
You're looking for the one way out,
Waiting for the last goodbye, how could you say,
Never knew, never knew it was coming, no.
Never knew, never knew it was coming, no.
You're looking for the one way out,
Waiting for the last goodbye, how could you say,
Never knew, never knew it was coming, no.
Never knew, never knew it was coming, no.
How could you say, never knew, never knew it was coming, no.
How could you say, never knew, never knew it was coming, no.
How could you say, never knew, never knew it was coming, no.
How could you say, never knew, never knew it was coming, no.
How could you say, never knew, never knew it was coming, no.
How could you say, never knew, never knew it was coming, no.
How could you say, never knew, never knew it was coming, no.
How could you say, never knew, never knew it was coming, no.
What could you say?
The Blackout's song "The Last Goodbye" is a heart-wrenching ode to a dying relationship. The lyrics paint a picture of a once-strong love that's now fading fast, and the singer is struggling to hold onto it. The chorus emphasizes the pain the singer feels, as they try to come to terms with the impending end of their relationship. The line "You're looking for the one way out, waiting for the last goodbye" suggests that the other person is ready to end things, but the singer is in denial and struggling to accept it.
The second verse amplifies the confusion and despair the singer feels, as the reality of the situation sets in. They believed that they were on the same page, only to realize that they were the last to know that the relationship was ending. The desperation in the line "Take me with you, even if it's only in your head" shows the singer's desperation to hold onto any part of their former love, even if it's just a memory.
The song is powerful and emotive, evoking feelings of loss, confusion, and heartache. It's relatable to anyone who has experienced the end of a relationship, and the pain that comes with it.

This feeling's fading fast,
My feelings for you are disappearing quickly.
And it's getting hard to hold.
It's becoming difficult to maintain my emotions.
