The Last Goodbye
The Kills渀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's the last goodbye I swear
I can't rely on a dime a day love that don't go anywhere
I learn to cry for someone else
I can't get by on an odds and ends love that don't ever match up
I heard all you said and I took it to heart

I won't forget I swear
I have no regrets for the past is behind me
Tomorrow reminds me just where

Can't quite see the end
How can I rely on my heart if I break it with my own two hands?
I heard all you said and I love you to death
I heard all you said don't say anything





It's the last goodbye I swear
I can't survive on a half-hearted love that will never be whole

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Kills' "The Last Goodbye" denote a heart-wrenching break-up of a romantic relationship. The lead singer Alison Mosshart declares that this is the final good-bye and she can no longer be in a relationship based on a casual, dime-a-day kind of love that doesn't take her anywhere. She's learned to cry for someone else and can no longer live on the odds and ends kind of love that never matches up. She has taken every word seriously and decided that this was the last goodbye, which means she's not going to forget it.


Even though Mosshart has no regrets, the past is behind her, and tomorrow brings her a new start, she can't quite see the end of the relationship, and she questions herself on how she can trust her heart when she's the one who broke it. However, she did hear everything her partner said, and she loves them till death. Hence, she urges her partner not to say anything further about the separation because it's painful. In the end, she says that she can't survive on half-hearted love, and it can never be whole, and so, she bids goodbye.

奔奔啊可以幫我扶貧嗎
我好不容易湊了個六套精妹去幅射
結果圖外狗打了
全部掉光光
我快瘋了啊
如果幫我扶貧的話
我就給你所有視頻都案讚分享
可以嗎
拜託拜託!!!
