Say Goodbye Lyrics

Look, we gotta talk. Dang, I know, I know but it, its just somethings I gotta get off my chest, alright

Yeahhh , Woo woo

Baby come here and sit down, let's talk
I got a lot to say so I guess I'll start by
Saying that I love you but you know this thing aint been no walk in the park for us
I swear it will only take a minute, you'll understand when I finish
Yeah, And I don't wanna' see you cry but I don't wanna be the one to tell you a lie so

(HOOK)
How do you let it go? When you
You just don't know? What's on
..the other side of the door
When you're walking out, talk about it
Everything I tried to remember to say
Just went out of my head
So, Im'a do the best I can to get you to understand
(because i know)

(CHORUS)
It's never a right time, (yeah) to say goodbye
But I gotta' make the first move cause'
If I don't, you're gonna start hatin' me
Cause I really dont feel the way I once felt about you
Girl, it's not you it's me
I gotta gotta figure out what I need
There's never a right time to say goodbye
But we know that we gotta go
Our separate ways
And I know it's hard but I gotta do it,
And it's killing me
Cause there's never a right time
Right time to say goodbye

But I know your heart is breaking
And a thousand times I fine myself asking why, why, why am I takin so long to say this
But trust me girl I never meant to crush your world and I never
Though I would see the day we grew apart
And I wanna know

(HOOK)
How do you let it go? When you
You just don't know? What's on
..the other side of the door
When you're walking out, talk about it
Girl I hope you understand
What I'm tryna say.
We just can't go on
Pretending that we get along
Girl how you not gonna see it?

[CHORUS]
There's never a right time to say goodbye
But I gotta make the first move
'Cause if I don't you gonna start hating me
Cause I really don't feel the way I once felt about you
Girl it's not you it's me.
I gotta gotta figure out what I need
There's never a right time to say goodbye
But we know that we gotta go
Our separate ways
And I know it's hard but I gotta do it,
And it's killing me
Cause there's never a right time
Right time to say goodbye

Listen to your heart
Girl you know,
We should be apart, baby I
I just can't do it
I, I just can't do it
Listen to your heart
Girl you know,
We should be apart, baby I
I just can't do it
And sometimes it makes me wanna cry
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh [2x]
Do you hear me crying?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh [2x]
[CHORUS]
There's never a right time to say goodbye
But I gotta make the first move
'Cause if I don't you gonna start hating me
Cause I really don't feel the way I once felt about you
Girl it's not you it's me.
I gotta gotta figure out what I need
There's never a right time to say goodbye
But we know that we gotta go
Our separate ways
And I know it's hard but I gotta do it,
And it's killing me
Cause there's never a right time
Right time to say goodbye

[CHORUS]
There's never a right time to say goodbye
But I gotta make the first move
'Cause if I don't you gonna start hating me
Cause I really don't feel the way I once felt about you
Girl it's not you it's me.
I gotta gotta figure out what I need
There's never a right time to say goodbye
But we know that we gotta go
Our separate ways
And I know it's hard but I gotta do it,
it's killing me
Cause there's never a right time
Right time to say

The song is pretty self explanatory. He thought he would be with this girl forever but things didn't go as planned. Even though he loves her, he knows that staying with her will only hurt her more. He has to leave her in order to find what it is he's looking for. I think this song captures that feeling of not wanting to leave a person, but knowing that you have to, and the emotions that come with not knowing how to do it.

everytime i listen to this song, it makes me want to cry.

this is such a sad song but we will all go through this in our lifetime. whether it may be from chris's point of view or from the viewpoint of the person chris is singing this song to.

he never thought him and his girlfriend would break up or fall out of love but things have changed. he doesn't feel the same way about her anymore. even though he still cares for her and doesn't want to hurt her, he knows that he has to say goodbye because he's not in love with her anymore. he also doesn't want to hurt her by leading her on and staying with her while he falls in love with someone else.

i know exactly what chris brown in saying in this song, he loves the girl but he doesnt and he thought he should break it off with her cause he doesnt want to lie to her any more because he knows how much it will hurt her ,i actually just went through this and it is the worst feeling in the world!

This song is just one of those "I'll-never-get-sick-or-tired-of-this".. It's a sad song .. pretty self explanatory like someone said. It's a simple plot when you still LOVE the person, just not IN love with them.. you still care for them immensely but it's just not working out. You don't to hurt them of course but you know it's the right thing to do because one person has changed and grown in a different direction.

That's why I think it's so hard to stay in love, I look at people who are like 70 and still deeply in "love" and think how the hell do they do it. I guess it's different with age but it's still a scary thought.. committing your WHOLE life to just one person.. for the rest of your life, everyday you wake up and it's gonna be them next to you. Scary!

I guess I'm drifting off. But it's sad to "Say Goodbye" as the song says but it has to be done because it's so hard to find someone that's constantly growing with you & then you turn back and realise you're both not the same people you were when you fell in love.

this song reminds me of r. kelly

Cover art for Say Goodbye lyrics by Chris Brown

this song was playing when my ex and i were breaking up..it was kinda funny when i think back(even though it was recent) and he was telling me that he still loves me, but in a different way and that he didnt want to hurt me anymore than he already was cuz i had know for a week or two that we had changed and that he had moved on w/o me..so neway, he told me that he finally worked up the courage to tell me that we were over..it still hurts but not as bad as going out with a guy that doesnt feel the way he did at the beginning

Cover art for Say Goodbye lyrics by Chris Brown

This song is to finally say goodbye to someone you loved but you realized it's never gonna work. You're never gonna be who they want you to be, and they're never gonna themselves with you. All you can do is go and say goodbye.
