Saying Goodbye

We both know that its long been over
We're moving on now, day by day, but
I'm still looking back over my shoulder
Can't shake the feeling that, I lost something great

Time keeps drifting by
I stop and wonder why
Why its easier to keep on holding to the past
No mistakes yeah, that can't be left there
Just gotta let it go, gotta make this moment really last

And I forgive you and all the lies too
It's time to say goodbye, gonna walk right out of your life
That's the last time i'll kiss you,
That's the last time i'm gonna miss you
Cause this time we're saying goodbye,
Yeah this time we're saying goodbye
Oh my love goodbye

Sometimes when I am all alone in bed
I remember those heated words we said
Well you're in my dreams and you promise me things
But now I know the truth I'm better off without you

And I forgive you and all the lies too
It's time to say goodbye, gonna walk right out of your life
That's the last time i'll kiss you,
That's the last time i'm gonna miss you
Cause this time we're saying goodbye,
Yeah this time we're saying goodbye
Oh my love goodbye

We both know that its long been over
We're moving on now, day by day, but
I'm still looking back over my shoulder
Can't shake the feeling that, I lost something great

And I forgive you and all the lies too
It's time to say goodbye, gonna walk right out of your life
That's the last time i'll kiss you,
That's the last time i'm gonna miss you
Cause this time we're saying goodbye

And I forgive you and all the lies too
It's time to say goodbye, gonna walk right out of your life
That's the last time i'll kiss you,
That's the last time i'm gonna miss you
Cause this time we're saying goodbye

And I forgive you and all the lies too
It's time to say goodbye, gonna walk right out of your life
That's the last time i'll kiss you,
That's the last time i'm gonna miss you
Cause this time we're saying goodbye,
Yeah this time we're saying goodbye
Oh my love goodbye

This song was written about 6 months after I broke up with my first boyfriend; we'd been together for a long time and I was surprised that I hadn't had any regrets or moments where I wondered if breaking up with him was the right thing to do. As at the time I broke up with him I assumed it would be difficult for me to do and would haunt me for some time to come - which led me to thinking about people that do end a relationship knowing the relationship is bad and that ending it is the right thing to do, but have regrets or question their decision later on, when they get lonely, its also about relationships that are on again off again for the same uncertainty. This song was written from the perspective of someone who is still clinging to a relationship that has ended and is yet to really say goodbye in their heart and move on. Through the story of the song, they are finally realizing its over and this song is the final goodbye (tinged with a slight sorrow) - their moment of emancipation!
