Hello Goodbye
Tyler Farr Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I told myself a thousand times, it wouldn't end like this
But here I am standing at the door, with no more walls to hit
I didn't notice it was over, 'till it was to late
All the tears are cried and it's time to walk away

So hello suitcase, hello pictures on the floor,
Hello heartache, hello slamming door,
Hello Silverado running in the drive,
Hello freedom, hello goodbye.

I never knew this gravel drive, could be so damn long
And I never thought, I ever be this close to being gone
I wonder if she wonders, if I'll turn this truck around
I wish I could, 'cause it hurts like hell but it's too late for that now

Se hello highway, hello city limit sign,
Hello sunset, hello Jackson county line,
Hello radio don't play that song tonight,
Hello freedom, hello goodbye.

Oh I did the best to make the best of us
But hell sometimes love just ain't enough

So hello teardrops, hello empty space,
Hello memories, hello love we used to make,




Hello Jesus won't you help me through the night,
Hello tomorrow, hello goodbye.

So hello suitcase, hello pictures on the floor,

As I leave, I am reminded of the pain and heartache I am experiencing through the sound of the slamming door.


Hello Silverado running in the drive,
I am greeted by my truck running in the driveway, ready to take me away.


Hello freedom, hello goodbye.
As I leave, I am able to experience a newfound sense of freedom, but it signifies the end of our relationship.


I never knew this gravel drive, could be so damn long
The road I am on feels longer than it ever has before, adding to the weight of my emotions.


And I never thought, I ever be this close to being gone
I never imagined being so close to the end of a relationship that was once so important to me.


I wonder if she wonders, if I'll turn this truck around
I question whether or not she is even aware of how much I am struggling with leaving, and if she thinks I might come back.

As I embrace my newfound freedom, I am once again saying goodbye to everything that once was.


Oh I did the best to make the best of us
Throughout our relationship, I did everything I possibly could to make things work.

Despite my best efforts, sometimes love simply cannot overcome certain obstacles.


So hello teardrops, hello empty space,
In this moment, I find myself consumed by the sadness and emptiness of the void my now-former relationship has left behind.


Hello memories, hello love we used to make,
As I reflect on what once was, I am reminded of cherished memories and the love we used to share.


Hello Jesus won't you help me through the night,
As I navigate this difficult time, I am seeking comfort and guidance from a higher power.


Hello tomorrow, hello goodbye.
As I look towards the future, I know I must say goodbye to the past and leave this relationship behind.

crazy how much music can actually help you through things you are trying to put behind you. love this song! totally relate

Myq wood

This song hits hard... I just lost the love of my life of ten years.... I sat in her driveway for hours before I could muster up the courage to leave. Not all bad... I still have my truck and my dog, but not hearing her voice still gets me. It's weird how you can go from someone's everything to someone's nothing.

Mine of six years just Left me
