Calling you would make no sense
If you don't care about december
I tell you summer erases your name
Usual session to drink alone
Keep on smiling trying to be nice
I will shortly write what i think
You've been deserveing for a long time
It's time to say goodbye
To all the things that made you cry
It's time to say goodbye
To all the things you kept inside
It's time to say goodbye
To all those kisses and perfect nights
It's time to say goodbye
To all the promises that made you right
It's time to said away
For every day I felt so bad
For every "NO" that made me sad
You shot me twice and left me helpless
One for love and one for death
Don't hang up you can't right now
You know I've always been there for you
Don't wanna end this conversation
But being alone's never felt so good
You've been deserving for such a long time
It's time to say goodbye
To all the things that made you cry
It's time to say goodbye
To all the things you kept inside
It's time to say goodbye
To all those kisses and perfect nights
It's time to say goodbye
To all the promises that made you right
So prove I'm wrog so prove that I'm not alright
So tell me it's just me complicating
Holding on to a fanciful story
It's time to say goodbye
To all the things that made you cry
It's time to say goodbye
To all the things you kept inside
It's time to say goodbye
To all those kisses and perfect nights
It's time to say goodbye
To all the promises that made you right
It's time to sail alway
It's time to sail alway
It's time to sail alway
It's time to sail alway
The lyrics of Vanilla Sky's song "Goodbye" are about ending a relationship that has caused pain and heartache. The singer is addressing their former partner, saying that it would be pointless to try to reach out to them anymore. The partner doesn't seem to care about the things that are important to the singer, like the changing of the seasons. The singer has been keeping up a facade of happiness, but they are now ready to be honest and tell their former partner how they really feel.
The second verse of the song highlights the pain that the singer has been feeling. They have been hurt by their partner's rejection and left feeling helpless. Despite this, the singer has always been there for their partner, but now they are ready to say goodbye. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "it's time to say goodbye" four times, emphasizing the finality of the decision. The singer is letting go of all the things that made them unhappy, all the things that they kept inside for so long. They want to move forward without any more false promises or kisses.
The final verse of the song is a plea from the singer to their former partner. They want their partner to prove them wrong, to show that they were not the cause of the relationship's downfall. However, the singer knows that they are just holding on to a fantasy, a story that is not real. In the end, all that remains is to sail away, to leave the past behind and move on with their lives.

If would be like followin a trend
It would be pointless to do what everyone else does
Calling you would make no sense
It would be useless to try to communicate with you
If you don't care about december
If you don't care about the past
I tell you summer erases your name
I'm telling you that time heals all wounds
Usual session to drink alone
The usual routine of drinking alone
Keep on smiling trying to be nice
Pretending to be happy and friendly
I will shortly write what i think
I will express my true thoughts soon
And be honest for just one night
I will be truthful for only one night
You've been deserveing for a long time
You have deserved this for a long time
It's time to say goodbye
It is time to let go
To all the things that made you cry
To all the things that have caused you pain
To all the things you kept inside
To all the things you have hidden away
To all those kisses and perfect nights
To all the romantic moments and experiences
To all the promises that made you right
To all the promises that made you feel better
It's time to said away
It is time to move on
For every day I felt so bad
Every day I felt terrible
For every "NO" that made me sad
For every rejection that hurt me
You shot me twice and left me helpless
You hurt me not once, but twice, and left me unable to cope
One for love and one for death
One hurt was caused by love, and the other by death
Don't hang up you can't right now
Don't end the call, you can't do it right now
You know I've always been there for you
You know I have always been supportive of you
Don't wanna end this conversation
I don't want to end this conversation
But being alone's never felt so good
But being alone has never felt better
So prove I'm wrog so prove that I'm not alright
Prove that I am wrong, prove that I am not okay
So tell me it's just me complicating
Tell me that I am overthinking things
Holding on to a fanciful story
Holding on to an unrealistic and imaginary tale
It's time to sail alway
It is time to set sail and depart
