Good-bye
The Melody Lyrics

The Melody's song "Goodbye" is a slow and introspective track that speaks to unrequited love and the struggles of letting go. The opening line, "Good night, was just a little word you liked," sets the tone for the theme of the song. The singer is addressing someone who they have feelings for, but the other person seems to have different intentions. The phrase "good night" is used by the other person as a way to end conversations, but for the singer, it takes on a different meaning - it represents an opportunity to express their feelings and connect with the other person.

However, it quickly becomes apparent that the other person is not interested in reciprocating these feelings. The line "Somewhere somebody that you burn" suggests that the other person might be preoccupied with someone else or simply not interested in getting closer to the singer. Despite this, the singer still holds onto the hope that they will be able to prove their love to the other person. But, as the lyrics state, "love, you know you never got it right." This implies that the singer has been unsuccessful in love before and is struggling to come to terms with their feelings in this instance.

The chorus of the song is where the true meaning of the title "Goodbye" comes into play. The phrase "good night" is revealed to be a euphemism for "goodbye," as the lyrics state "You only mean to say goodbye...And so we are to say so long, goodbye, so long goodbye." The singer realizes that the other person has been trying to distance themselves, and the only option left is to let go and move on. It is a bittersweet realization, as the singer knows that they will never be able to fully express their love to the other person, but it is necessary for their own well-being.
