Goodbye
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 "Goodbye" seems to be about the end of a relationship that one person did not see coming. The singer is feeling a sense of desolation as they see their partner slowly slipping away, and they are struggling to hold on. They believe in all the rumors they have heard about their partner and their infidelity, leading to feelings of betrayal and confusion. The singer is left wondering why they were the last to know about their partner's true feelings, and why they were unable to see the signs of the impending end.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines "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". The singer is addressing their partner, asking how they could say they never knew the end of the relationship was coming when they had been looking for a way out and waiting for the last goodbye. The repeated lines add to the feeling of desperation and hurt, as the singer feels they were blindsided by the end of the relationship and unable to comprehend their partner's actions.
Overall, "Goodbye" by The Blackout explores the theme of lost love and betrayal, with the singer struggling to come to terms with the end of their relationship and the feelings of hurt and confusion that come with it.
Line by Line Meaning
This feeling's fading fast,
The emotions and love that we shared are slipping away quickly and disappearing.
And it's getting hard to hold.
It's becoming difficult to maintain and keep our relationship together.
'Cause I believe in every word
I have faith in all the negative rumors that I've heard about you.
Of all the rumours I've been told about you.
I've heard so many negative things about you from other people.
And I'd never thought it would ever end up like this,
I never imagined that our relationship would turn out this way.
That I'd be the one that you'd always miss,
I thought you'd be the one missing me always, but it ended up being the opposite.
That you'd always miss, that you'd always miss.
I never thought the tables would turn, and you'd end up being the one missing me always.
You're looking for the one way out,
You're searching for the quickest way to exit and leave our relationship.
Waiting for the last goodbye, how could you say,
You're waiting for the perfect moment to say your goodbyes, how could you do this to us?
Never knew, never knew it was coming, no.
I had absolutely no idea that this was going to happen to us.
If you’ve always felt this way,
If you've had negative feelings about our relationship from the beginning,
Why was I the last to know.
Then why did I find out about it last?
Yeah I believed that every day
I trusted that we were on the same page every day.
We were on the same damn page.
I thought we understood each other, but it seems like I was the only one on this page.
And maybe I never thought it would ever end up this way,
Maybe I was ignoring the signs that our relationship was heading towards an unhappy ending.
Never thought I would ever just walk away,
I never imagined that I would be the one ending our relationship.
Just walk away, just walk away.
But now I just need to walk away, without turning back.
Take me with you, even if it's only in your head.
Take our memories and the feelings we shared with you, even if it's only in your mind.
When you come back to me, stay forever in my bed.
If you decide to come back, then stay with me forever, and never leave.
One way out, last goodbye, how could you say,
You're leaving, and it's the final goodbye; how could you do this to me?
How could you say, never knew, never knew it was coming, no.
How could you say we never saw this coming, when it blindsided me completely?
How could you say, never knew, never knew it was coming, no.
How could you pretend that our love and relationship was not in any trouble, when the signs were so evident?
How could you say, never knew, never knew it was coming, no.
How could you overlook our problems and act like everything was fine, when we were heading towards a break-up?
How could you say, never knew, never knew it was coming, no.
How could you pretend like you didn't know that our love was fading away, when it was so obvious to everyone else?
What could you say?
What explanation or justification can you possibly give for what you've done to us?

Di suatu pesta ulang tahunmu
Ku dekati dirimu
Sudah lama ku mengincarmu
'tuk menjadi kekasihku
Betapa hancurnya hatiku
Ternyata kau ada yang punya
Reff:
Goodbye my love
My heart is broken
Goodbye my love
The love is over
Goodbye my love
I can life without you now
Aku rasakan kau tak pernah tahu
Aku sangat mencintaimu
Kau anggap aku dalam hatimu
Teman tak spesial bagimu
Betapa hancurnya hatiku
Ternyata kau ada yang punya
Back to Reff:
Mungkin ini jalan terbaik dalam hidupku
Auww.. biarlah semau jadi kenangan yang ku rasakan
Auww.. aku hanya ingin ungkapkan rasa ini
Cintaku harus berakhir
@nicolassyailendraaditya95
Lagu yang bagus dan berkelas dari supergroup seperti Blackout, ditambah lagi ada 2 musisi veteran & legendaris yaitu Rere Reza (drummer Grass Rock dan eks drummer Yovie And Nuno. Beliau juga pernah menjadi additional drummer dari Dewa 19 dan ADA Band) dan Iwan Xaverius (eks bassist Edane & Jet Liar) 🤟🎧💯
