The Way We Say Goodbye Lyrics

Take this plane, delay it
I was only waiting
For you, you know
For you, you know

I stayed in here for ages
And felt the sunlight fading
On you, you know
On you, you know

But it's the way we say goodbye
It kills me now
It's the way we say goodbye
It kills me now
And I won't look back in time
'Cause, darling, it's just the way we say goodbye

Take this plane, delay it
I heard the music fading
With you, you know
With you
We'll stay outside the cages
And read all the last pages
With you, you know
With you

And I miss you
God, I miss you
Love, I miss you
You know I do

But it's the way we say goodbye
It kills me now
It's the way we say goodbye
It kills me now
And I won't look back in time
'Cause, darling, it's just the way we say goodbye

Ohh, ohh-oh, ohh, ohh-oh
Ohh, ohh-oh, ohh, ohh-oh
Ohh, ohh-oh, ohh, ohh-oh
Ohh, ohh-oh, ohh, ohh-oh

And I miss you
God, I miss you
Love, I miss you
You know I do

And I won't look back in time
'Cause, darling, it's just the way we say goodbye
Just the way we say goodbye
Just the way we say goodbye

What is the Meaning of The Way We Say Goodbye?

A poignant exploration of longing and loss, this track delves into the heartbreak of parting ways with a loved one. The repeated plea to delay the inevitable departure - 'Take this plane, delay it' - underscores the desperation to hold onto fleeting moments. The act of saying goodbye is portrayed as a painful process that 'kills' the narrator each time. Yet, there's an acceptance that looking back will only prolong the agony; hence, the resolve not to revisit past memories. The refrain 'And I miss you' further amplifies this sense of yearning and loneliness after separation. Ultimately, this song beautifully captures the bittersweet reality of farewells - they may be heartbreaking, but are often necessary steps in life's journey.
