Meaning of Goodbye
(verse 1)
my heart got broken in two
my tears fell and they fell
the look on my face must have really surprised you
you’d never seen me like that

I know it doesn’t have to be sad
I know there’s no reason to get mad
sometimes the same path we walk together diverges
and we have to split up

the time has finally come (the time has finally come)
I’ll never be the same (I’ll never be the same)
if you think of me when you get lonely
I still have my photographs
that I took of us, let’s cherish

(chorus)
sayonara to me means to let go
and although I won’t get to see you
I’ll still have everything that we ever shared
as I step into the future as just me
I promise to myself to get stronger
so when we meet up again
I can say I didn’t lose, that I win
and we’ll have no reason to be sorry
we can protect precious memories and not worry
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
our trains took two different routes
my tree died but came back at the roots
the seasons changed, but my lips are still frozen cold
and I get lost in stories you told

I found goodbye has a meaning
there’s so much pain because there were happy memories
it’s like poetry spoken but never written
something between two people left behind

the precious things you gave (the precious things you gave)
the things I count I have (the things I count I have)
half of them belonged to you first
and I will carry them until I have them last

(chorus)
sayonara was the first of many
but they never became anymore easy
the heart can begin healing
by falling in love yet again
the last words that we spoke
it turns out they can be reused and said
you let me down easy, but the pain was heavy
but because of you, I can be strong too
(end chorus)

(bridge)
always believe in love
it’s real and it’s true (never ever feel blue)
I hope you find someone who
makes you feel like I do (even though it’s not me)
I loved you so but (I loved you so but)
you had to find something that
chimed when you were the wind
and even then
I feel the tears well up in my eyes

goodbye begins in one heart
and it grows until two people are apart
for many reasons and circumstances
I don’t need to know but, to me, it plagues
though what can I do?

(chorus)
sayonara to me means to let go
and although I won’t get to see you
I’ll still have everything that we ever shared
as I step into the future as just me
I promise to myself to get stronger
so when we meet up again
I can say I didn’t lose, that I win
and we’ll have no reason to be sorry
people fall apart then get back together
we can protect precious memories and not worry
(end chorus)
