Say Goodbye
version 5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're like every little freak I wanna kill them
You play the victim
You're hanging by a thread just for attention
Sick as predicted
When all I've gotta lose is something twisted
Down with a handshake
Everytime I lie you know it's too late
Sometimes I don't know what to say
Roll the dice and take me far away
Freeze, hang a rope 'till I can't breathe
Say goodbye, c'est la vie (say goodbye)
It's too late now
Will you find me when I'm lost
'Cuz you're the one I want (say goodbye)
It's too late now
You, you're my symptom
You're the only one I want I gotta have you
Say, say you're sorry
Sorry that you're gone and now you need me
Sold my condition
Like every single time I blame the system
Love, desperation
The voices in my head are getting broken
Sometimes I don't know what to say
Roll the dice and take me far away
Freeze, hang a rope 'till I can't breathe
Say goodbye, c'est la vie (say goodbye)
It's too late now
Will you find me when I'm lost
'Cuz you're the one I want (say goodbye)
It's too late now
Freeze, hang a rope 'till I can't breathe
Say goodbye, c'est la vie (say goodbye)
It's too late now
Hang a rope 'till I can't breathe
You're a loser just like me (say goodbye)
It's too late now
Will you find me when I'm lost
'Cuz you're the one I want (say goodbye)
It's too late now
The lyrics to Version 5's song "Say Goodbye" are dark and unsettling, telling the story of a toxic relationship that has pushed the singer to the brink of despair. The opening lines set the tone, with the singer comparing their partner to poison and expressing a desire to harm them. The partner is portrayed as manipulative and attention-seeking, hanging on by a thread but refusing to let go. The singer feels trapped and sick, aware that they have something to lose but unable to resist the twisted allure of the relationship.
The chorus of the song shifts the tone slightly, with the singer expressing a sense of resignation and fatalism. They feel like they are suffocating and unable to escape, but are also aware that it is too late to turn back. The line "hang a rope 'til I can't breathe" is particularly chilling, suggesting that the singer may be contemplating suicide as a way out of the situation. The repeated phrase "it's too late now" underscores the sense of hopelessness and despair.
Despite its dark themes, the song is undeniably catchy and has a driving, upbeat sound that creates a sense of momentum and urgency. This contrast between the dark lyrics and energetic music only adds to the disconcerting feeling the song evokes. Overall, "Say Goodbye" is a haunting exploration of the dangers of toxic relationships and the toll they can take on our mental health.

You, you're my poison
You are my toxic influence
You're like every little freak I wanna kill them
You remind me of all the people I despise
You play the victim
You act like the one who's hurt, but you're the one causing the harm
You're hanging by a thread just for attention
You're deliberately being dramatic to get attention
Sick as predicted
As expected, you're not well
When all I've gotta lose is something twisted
I don't have much to lose, and what I do have is not healthy
Down with a handshake
I'm fake and manipulative even when greeting you
Everytime I lie you know it's too late
You always catch me in the act of being deceitful
Sometimes I don't know what to say
I'm at a loss for words at times
Roll the dice and take me far away
Let's leave this situation to chance and see where fate takes us
Freeze, hang a rope 'till I can't breathe
I feel trapped and suffocated
Say goodbye, c'est la vie (say goodbye)
Farewell, that's life
It's too late now
It's too late to change things
Will you find me when I'm lost
Will you help me when I'm in need?
'Cuz you're the one I want (say goodbye)
Because you're the person I desire, even though we have to part ways
You, you're my symptom
You're the problem I can't seem to get rid of
You're the only one I want I gotta have you
You're the only person I desire, and I feel like I need you
Say, say you're sorry
Admit your fault and apologize
Sorry that you're gone and now you need me
I'm sorry you left, but now you want me back
Sold my condition
I gave in to my illness
Like every single time I blame the system
I always find a way to blame someone or something else
Love, desperation
My feelings for you are mixed with anxiety and neediness
The voices in my head are getting broken
I can't even trust my own thoughts and feelings
You're a loser just like me (say goodbye)
We both are failures, and we have to say goodbye
Will you find me when I'm lost
Will you help me when I'm in need?
'Cuz you're the one I want (say goodbye)
Because you're the person I desire, even though we have to part ways
