Baby Goodbye
moumoon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

ねえ、一つだけ教えて
許してくれは、しないの?
グラスが割れるようにゆっくりと
ハートの欠片散らばってく
泣き出したいのに掠れた声は
名前も呼べない
Baby Goodbye
愛しくさよなら

君がもう君じゃないみたい
Baby it hurts
戻れない気持ちで
嫌いになろうとしても
Oh oh oh
Baby Goodbye
いまだって側に居たい
うまくいってるみたいに
互いに無理をしてたんだ
ずっと離れないよって言葉も
「きっとね」っていう曖昧さに
約束できない二人の絆
脆くなってたの
Baby Goodbye
わたしが壊した
時間は返せないんだ
Baby it hurts
悲しい記憶も
消し去る事が出来たら
Oh oh oh
Baby Goodbye
いつだってきみがいた
I thought we were
so meant to be oh no
What did I do wrong?
I know.....
Hate me... Hate me...
Let go, just let go everything
I hold on to
Letting go of your hand
could be the best way for now
Baby Goodbye
愛しくさよなら
君がもう君じゃないなら
Baby it hurts
戻れない気持ちで
嫌いになろうとするよ
Oh oh oh
Baby it's time
愛しくさよなら
Baby Goodbye.....
Baby Goodbye.....

Baby Goodbye.....
Baby Goodbye.....

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to moumoon's song Baby Goodbye are centered around a painful breakup, where one partner is struggling to come to terms with the other's departure. The first verse begins with a plea from the singer, asking their former partner to forgive them as they watch their heart shatter into fragments like a broken glass. They want to cry out their sorrow but their voice is hoarse, unable to even call the name of their significant other. The chorus expresses profound sadness and heartbreak as the singer says goodbye to their loved one, acknowledging that their relationship has come to an end, and they are no longer the same person they were before.

The second verse delves into the memories of the past where the couple tried to force themselves to stay together even though it was a struggle. The phrase "きっとね" (kitto ne) used in the lyrics conveys an element of uncertainty in their relationship and highlights their inability to fulfill their promises to one another. The bridge shifts to self-blame as the singer acknowledges that they may have been the one who caused the relationship's downfall and that they cannot turn back time. The chorus repeats with the singer still struggling to let go of their former partner and acknowledging that even if they try to hate them, they cannot.

Overall, these lyrics portray the pain and sadness of a breakup where one partner was not ready to let go of their love. Moumoon's melancholic melody complements the lyrics, making it even more heart-wrenching.
