Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
For the first time, in such a long time
I've been feelin' there's some reason
To hold on through the night
And for the first time since you broke this heart of mine
I find myself believin'
It's really gonna be alright
Now you're askin' me to let you walk back into my life
Something I can't bring myself to do
'Cause it's been hard enough gettin' over you
Ya know you kept me holdin' on till the end
Oh it's been hard enough gettin' over you
I don't think that I could say goodbye again
I could trust you, but it's out of my hands
I once believed your promises
Believed in every word you said
I still love you but my heart won't take the chance
That all the pain I've left behind me
Might be waiting for me up ahead
Just remember it was you who walked right out of my life
No you don't know what I've been through
'Cause it's been hard enough gettin' over you
Ya know you kept me holdin' on till the end
Oh it's been hard enough gettin' over you
I don't think that I could say goodbye
I made a promise to myself
And this one I'm not gonna break
I've made it without you, and I'm not about to
Just turn around and make the same mistake
'Cause it's been hard enough gettin' over you
Ya know you kept me holdin' on till the end
Oh it's been hard enough gettin' over you
I don't think that I could say goodbye
I don't think I could say goodbye
I know that I can't say goodbye again
I've been feelin' there's some reason
To hold on through the night
And for the first time since you broke this heart of mine
I find myself believin'
It's really gonna be alright
Now you're askin' me to let you walk back into my life
Something I can't bring myself to do
'Cause it's been hard enough gettin' over you
Ya know you kept me holdin' on till the end
Oh it's been hard enough gettin' over you
I don't think that I could say goodbye again
I could trust you, but it's out of my hands
I once believed your promises
Believed in every word you said
I still love you but my heart won't take the chance
That all the pain I've left behind me
Might be waiting for me up ahead
Just remember it was you who walked right out of my life
No you don't know what I've been through
'Cause it's been hard enough gettin' over you
Ya know you kept me holdin' on till the end
Oh it's been hard enough gettin' over you
I don't think that I could say goodbye
I made a promise to myself
And this one I'm not gonna break
I've made it without you, and I'm not about to
Just turn around and make the same mistake
'Cause it's been hard enough gettin' over you
Ya know you kept me holdin' on till the end
Oh it's been hard enough gettin' over you
I don't think that I could say goodbye
I don't think I could say goodbye
I know that I can't say goodbye again
