Time to Say Goodbye
Vance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The good times that made us laugh, outweighed the bad.
I thought we'd get to see forever, but forever has blown away.
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
I don't know where this road is gonna lead to.
All I know is where we've been and what we've been through.
If it gets me to tomorrow, I hope it's worth all the pain.
And I'll take with me the memories to be my sunshine after the rain.
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
In Vance's song Time To Say Goodbye, the singer is struggling to let go of a relationship that has come to an end. The opening line, "How do I say goodbye to what we had?" sets the tone for the song; it is a melancholic reflection on the past, on what was good and what was bad, on what was hoped for and what was lost. The singer remembers the good times, the moments that made them both laugh and forget about the problems they faced. However, the reality of the situation is that the relationship has ended, and there is no going back. The line "I thought we'd get to see forever, but forever has blown away" expresses the disappointment and the heartache that the singer is feeling.
The second verse is about the uncertainty of the future, and the fear of what may come next. The singer doesn't know where the road will lead them, but they know where they have been and what they have gone through. They hope that the pain that they are feeling today will be worth it in the end, and that they will find happiness and peace on the other side.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the difficulty of letting go, of saying goodbye. The singer knows that they have to move on, but the memories of the past will always stay with them, bringing light to their life even in dark times.
Overall, Time To Say Goodbye is a powerful song about the necessity of letting go, and the pain that comes with it. It is a universal theme that has resonated with people for a long time, and will always be relevant.
