Kiss and Say Goodbye
W. Lowett Lyrics

Tell me when the time we had slipped away
Asking to know when the moment we shared has gone past and became a memory

Tomorrow turned to yesterday and I don't know how
Without realizing, the moment we shared has become a thing of the past

Tell me what can stop this river of tears
Asking for a solution to halt the tears that have been flowing endlessly

It's been building up for years for this moment now
The tears have been accumulating over a long period, leading up to this moment

Here I stand arms open wide
The singer is presenting themselves with open arms

I've held you close, kept you safe
The singer has been a protector, keeping the other person safe

Till you could fly
The singer has helped the other person grow and become confident enough to fly on their own

Tell me where the road ahead is gonna bend
Asking for insight into the uncertain future and where it may lead

And how to harness up the wind and how to say goodbye
Asking for the strength and guidance to move forward and let go

Tell me why does following your dreams
Questioning why pursuing one's ambitions leads to separation and distance

Take you far away from me and I knew that it would
The singer anticipated that following their dreams would eventually lead to distance between them and the other person

Tell me how to feel the space you left behind
Asking for help to process the emptiness left by the other person's absence

And how to laugh instead of cry and how to say goodbye
Asking for guidance on how to cope with the pain of separation and learn to let go

Tell me where the road ahead is gonna bend
Repeating the question about the uncertain future and where it may lead

And how to harness up the wind and how to say goodbye
Repeating the request for the strength and guidance to move forward and let go
