Description
A farewell in repeat mode: the words sound like a note on the kitchen table - short, cold and slightly theatrical. Accusations, repentance and promises are packed into the routine choreography of parting: falling to your knees, falling on your sword, leaving a note - everything according to the script. Where there should have been an explanation, only an echo remains: ‘goodbye’ again and again, and the pain suddenly seems like familiar furniture. The impression is not a finale with fireworks, but a quiet train with a distant station: people leave, someone blesses them, someone waves goodbye, and the light in the window slowly fades. A little sad, a little ironic, and surprisingly human: sometimes leaving is just another way to try to fix everything.
Lyrics and translation
Original
I'm out of reach, you're out of bed
We can't avoid it, it'll bite in the end
Yesterday is over, so let's not pretend
We can start over, have things to defend
I'm gonna leave here, I'll explain in a note
How I betrayed you and covered it up
I'll fall on my knees, I'll fall on my sword
No one will ever love you like I did before
Goodbye, my love
It was too much but never enough
Goodbye, my lover
Why did we even bother?
A far-away station, a stranger in a coat
You're my salvation, waiting in the cold
An audible screech, a visible groan
I tried my best to build us a home
I'm done repeating, but then again, no
The more that I do it, it becomes habitual
It falls on deaf ears, hope falls to the floor
No one knows anything, I know that for sure
Goodbye, my love
It was too much but never enough
Goodbye, my lover
Why did we even bother?
Goodbye, forever
But it hurts
Goodbye to everyone
I'll miss you all
I'll miss you all
I'll miss you all
I'll miss you all
I've blessed you all
I've blessed you all
I've blessed you all
I've blessed you all, all
Goodbye, my love
It was too much but never enough
Goodbye, my lover
Why did we even bother?
Goodbye, forever
But it hurts
Goodbye to everyone
