All I Ever Do
Zak Abel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's just the way life goes
One more empty home
Can't eat, won't sleep, missing a part of me
Things are different now you're gone
Praying one day that we'll meet again
Say the words we never said
What I'd give for
Just another moment by your side
(All I ever do is)
It's hard livin' without you in my life
(All I ever do is)
Man, I gotta laugh before I cry
(All I ever do is)
'Cause all I ever do, all I ever do
All I ever do is say goodbye
Is say goodbye, is say goodbye
The future in your eyes lives in a perfect memory
Hanging on for life
Though you've gone too soon
And left me feeling heavy
I celebrate our time
Praying one day that we'll meet again
Say the words we never said
Every day I'm such a mess
What I'd give for
Just another moment by your side
(All I ever do is)
It's hard livin' without you in my life
(All I ever do is)
Man, I gotta laugh before I cry
(All I ever do is)
'Cause all I ever do, all I ever do
All I ever do is say goodbye
Is say goodbye
All I ever do is say goodbye
Is say goodbye
Those were glory days
And I'm gonna miss them
Through it all, I prayed
I hope that you were listenin'
Just another moment by your side
It's hard livin' without you in my life
Man, I gotta laugh before I cry
'Cause all I ever do, all I ever do
All I ever do is say goodbye
Is say goodbye
All I ever do is say goodbye
'Cause all I ever do, all I ever do
All I ever do is say goodbye

Line by Line Meaning
Too young, they fall
People die young sometimes
That's just the way life goes
It's a part of life
One more empty home
Another person has left the world
Can't eat, won't sleep, missing a part of me
I'm struggling with grief and can't find the will to eat or sleep
Things are different now you're gone
Life has changed since you passed away
Praying one day that we'll meet again
I hope to see you again someday
Say the words we never said
I wish we could have said everything we wanted to
Every day I'm such a mess
I'm struggling to cope with my emotions
What I'd give for just another moment by your side
I would do anything to be with you again
(All I ever do is)
This is a repeated phrase throughout the song
It's hard livin' without you in my life
My life is difficult without you here
Man, I gotta laugh before I cry
I try to find humor in things before I break down crying
'Cause all I ever do, all I ever do
This is a repeated phrase throughout the song
Is say goodbye
I constantly have to say goodbye to you
The future in your eyes lives in a perfect memory
I cherish the memories I have of you
Hanging on for life
I'm holding on to those memories for dear life
Though you've gone too soon
You passed away too early
And left me feeling heavy
I'm weighed down by grief
I celebrate our time
I try to find joy in the time we had together
Those were glory days
The past was full of good times
And I'm gonna miss them
I will miss those times
Through it all, I prayed
I still have faith in something during this difficult time
I hope that you were listenin'
I hope you can still hear me

"All I Ever Do (Is Say Goodbye)"
Too young, they fold
That's just the way life goes
One more empty home
Can't eat, won't sleep, missing a part of me
Things are different now you're gone
Praying one day that we'll meet again
Say the words we never said
Every day I'm such a mess
What I'd give for...
Just another moment by your side
(All I ever do is)
It's hard to live without you in my life
(All I ever do is)
Man, I gotta laugh before I cry
(All I ever do is)
'Cause all I ever do, all I ever do
All I ever do is say goodbye
Is say goodbye, is say goodbye
The future in your eyes lives in a perfect memory
Hanging on for life
Though you've gone too soon
And left me feeling heavy
I celebrate our time
Praying one day that we'll meet again
Say the words we never said
Every day I'm such a mess
What I'd give for...
Just another moment by your side
(All I ever do is)
It's hard to live without you in my life
(All I ever do is)
Man, I gotta laugh before I cry

All I ever do is say goodbye
Is say goodbye
All I ever do is say goodbye
Is say goodbye
Those were glory days
And I'm gonna miss them
Through it all, I prayed
I hope that you were listening
Just another moment by your side
It's hard to live without you in my life
Man, I gotta laugh before I cry
'Cause all I ever do, all I ever do
All I ever do is say goodbye

All I ever do is say goodbye
'Cause all I ever do, all I ever do
All i ever do is say goodbye
