Goodbye
miley cyrus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can honestly say you've been on my mind
Since I woke up today, up today
I look at your photograph all the time
These memories come back to life
And I don't mind

I remember when we kissed
I still feel it in my lips
The time that you danced with me
With no music playing
Well, I remember those simple things
I remember 'til I cry
But the one thing I wish I'd forget
The memory I wanna forget
Is goodbye

I woke up this morning
And played our song
And through my tears I sang along
I picked up the phone and then put it down
'Cause I know I'm wasting my time
And I don't mind

I remember when we kissed
I still feel it on my lips
The time that you danced with me
With no music playing
Well, I remember the simple things
I remember 'til I cry
But the one thing I wish I'd forget
The memory I wanna forget

Suddenly my cell phone's blowing up
With your ring tone
I hesitate but answer it anyway
You sound so alone
And I'm surprised to hear you say

You remember when we kissed
You still feel it on your lips
The time that you danced with me
With no music playing
You remember the simple things
We talked 'til we cried
You said that your biggest regret
The one thing you wish I'd forget




Is saying goodbye
Saying goodbye oh, goodbye

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Goodbye" by Miley Cyrus is a nostalgic portrayal of a past relationship filled with beautiful memories that still haunt her. The song's first verse speaks of how thoughts of her past lover have been on her mind since she woke up that day. She looks at his photograph and reminisces about their time together, even though the memories cause her pain. The chorus talks about how she remembers everything quite vividly, from their kisses to the way they danced to simple things that they did. Everything but the painful memory of saying goodbye is etched in her memory.


The second verse is even more poignant, where she wakes up to their song and bursts into tears as she sings along. She thinks about calling him, but eventually puts the phone down, knowing that she will only be wasting her time. At this point, she realizes that she cannot forget the bitter memory of their breakup or the fact that she misses him, but there's nothing to be done. The final verse is when she receives a phone call from him after a long time, and the tables turn. He expresses the same emotions she has been feeling all this time: the painful memories, the sweet nostalgia, and the regret of saying goodbye. The song ends on an emotional note, where the couple realizes the mistakes they made, but it is too late to do anything about it.


Overall, the song is an emotionally charged way of expressing the regrets people encounter after letting go of someone they love. It evokes feelings of longing, heartbreak, and the realization that you still haven't moved on. The lyrics strike a chord with anyone who has gone through a breakup or felt the pangs of unrequited love.
