Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tell myself
But there's a part of me that's gone and i can tell
U don't really need me
U never did
I was just somebody that u used for a bit
Fuck me up but i'd still take u right back
It's funny how i hurt myself and i never react
I fall in love n fall apart it's pretty sad
(I fall in love n fall apart it's pretty sad)
(I fall in love n fall apart it's pretty sad)
Is it ok if i can't act right?
I've been trying to move on it's been a hard time
So many nights i lay in bed with my chest tight
I wish that i was good at saying goodbyes (Goodbyes)
Is it ok if i can't act right?
I've been trying to move on it's been a hard time
So many nights i lay in bed with my chest tight
I wish that i was good at saying goodbyes
Is it ok if i can't act right?
I've been trying to move on it's been a hard time
So many nights i lay in bed with my chest tight
I wish that i was good at saying goodbyes
I've been waiting on a text that i'll never get
And if im being honest baby i'm a mess
U wrote me a eulogy with all ur words that i won't forget
I don't think i'll get over all the scars u left
I've been waiting on a text that i'll never get
And if im being honest baby i'm a mess
U wrote me a eulogy with all ur words that i won't forget
I don't think i'll get over all the scars u left
Is it ok if i can't act right?
I've been trying to move on it's been a hard time
So many nights i lay in bed with my chest tight
I wish that i was good at saying goodbyes
Is it ok if i can't act right?
I've been trying to move on it's been a hard time
So many nights i lay in bed with my chest tight
I wish that i was good at saying goodbyes
(I fall in love n fall apart it's pretty sad)
The lyrics to Lil Skele's song "Goodbyes" describe the pain of a failed relationship and the struggle to move on. The first verse talks about the singer's conflicting feelings towards love and the person they were involved with. Although they tell themselves that they don't need love, there is a part of them that is hurting and missing the other person. The singer acknowledges that they were used and hurt by this person, but they still find themselves wanting to go back to them. The line "Fuck me up but I'd still take you right back" speaks to the toxic nature of the relationship and how the singer knows that they are making a harmful choice but they can't help themselves.
The chorus is a plea for understanding and acceptance of the singer's struggles with moving on. The repetition of the line "Is it ok if I can't act right?" shows the singer's self-awareness of their behavior and the pain they are causing themselves. The wish to be better at saying goodbyes emphasizes the difficulty of ending a relationship and the singer's desire to move on but not being able to do so.
The second verse describes the aftermath of the breakup and the singer's inability to let go of the other person. The lines "I've been waiting on a text that I'll never get" and "you wrote me a eulogy with all your words that I won't forget" show how the other person has moved on and has no intention of returning, but the singer is still holding onto hope. The line "I don't think I'll get over all the scars you left" speaks to the lasting emotional impact of the relationship.
Overall, "Goodbyes" is a heartbreaking song that explores the pain and difficulty of letting go of a past relationship and the emotional toll it takes on the person involved.

Is it okay if I can't seem to get it together? I've been struggling to move on and it's been difficult. I often lie in bed feeling anxious about things. I wish I was better at saying goodbye to people.

I've been holding out hope for a message that I know deep down I'll never receive. I'm being honest when I say that I'm a mess. You said things to me that will stick with me forever, like a eulogy. I don't think I'll ever fully heal from the damage you caused.

"So many nights I lay in bed with my chest tight"
It sometimes feels like I lost all but your sunlight.
When you show me something cute I feel alright
And then sadness comes back and all I do is just try to fight
Maybe not now, maybe not tomorrow, we'll see each other again. And I swear to god babygirl I'll hug you so tight you'll feel alive again.
----
I miss you. You'll never read this. I still love you like nothing happened bad and I still miss you each and every single day. I try to move on, I try to seek somebody else, I always see your bright smile and hear your beautiful laughter and everybody fades away.
I know you said we'll never be together again. But that was when we both were low. You rose up, I rose as well, I wish for that day to come, when we'll see eachother again and I could finally say "What took you so long" and you'll just laugh again.

Same and right
@imwhiffing5822
Didn’t know that meant I lost myself… I’ve been doing this for years.. I think the drugs make me lose myself slowly but surely .. it’s the only thing that makes me feel like I’m ok 🤷♂️ I need help but I don’t want it anymore … they all want to help but in reality nobody truly knows how anyone feels.. we all experience emotions differently.. so everyone helps u without knowing how to help.. it’s like I’m stumbling around in the dark but now I have someone who cares with me in that darkness ..now they’re stumbling around with me in my darkness… very few people have that flashlight 🔦 that can help… so I stay away from loved ones so I don’t hurt them .. sorry I’m just sad.. I hope you are doing better this year .. peace and love to everyone
