Here Comes Goodbye

Okay people the music video for this song and the actual song are two completely different things.

When I first heard this song it seemed to me to be a standard break up song. The narrator is telling the story about how he knew she was ending the relationship by the few clues in the beginning and then the chorus is pretty much stating what the aftermath of her leaving him will feel like. The second verse is about him remembering what they had together and what he thought would happen in the future.

Here is some evidence to prove my point: "And she was in my arms tonight" okay some people have stated that this song is about a mother loosing her son or a father loosing his daughter or something but it doesn't make much sense does it. If a mother lost her son wouldn't the words say, And HE was in my arms tonight? Also if it was about a father loosing his daughter and as some people stated the daughter is either college age or has a son of her own, those lyrics wouldn't really work well for a father daughter relationship.

"I can hear say I love you like it was yesterday..." let me take a moment before I continue, yes this could be considered in some cases as a daughter telling her father or mother that she loves them before leaving or dying but as the song continues it says, "and I could see it written on her face, that she had never felt this way." Now don't get me wrong but it doesn't make much sense this being said about a child by their parent.

My last point is, "One day I thought I'd see her, with her daddy by her side blah blah blah, here comes the bride" right? Well somebody earlier had said that they thought it meant that the father was in heaven looking down at his daughter but there is one problem with that theory. The entire song is written in first person perspective, the narrator so why would her father start of by speaking in first person and then go directly to ominous? Quite a big leap.

The music video puts a different spin on things though it makes little sense expect maybe for the the beginning when the narrator talks about her coming to see him and how she is acting strangely and what it means. It could mean that the female in the video is coming to the house she grew up in (her fathers) and finally letting go of the memories of her father and (son?) that haunt her...but like I said the rest of the lyrics don't add up to the video.

Awwwww i cried my eyes out the first time i heared this song ='[ it's so sad,but i love it's amazing Rascal Flatts are the best,<33

Well if anyone's seen the music video it's definately about the younger woman's son dying and then later on her father dies. The son tells the day not to be afraid because in heaven there are "no more goodbyes"

As for the song, I think that the father is talking in the first verse and he's looking down from heaven and he's saying it's not like his daughter to drive that slow and that nothings on the radio and she usually walks into the house but she knows that her mother is about to tell her some bad news and her father knows the news that she's about to get (here comes goodbye..here comes the last time..here comes the start of every sleepless night..etc.)

Then in the second verse clearly it's the mother speaking because she's saying how she looked forward to the day she could see her husband walking her daughter down the aisle on her wedding day.

It's an amazing song, very well written and the music is beautiful! That's just my interpretation of the song C:

I always thought,before i saw the video, that it was about a girl coming to break up with a guy and he's heartbroken. so seeing the video I GOT very confused.

<3

I'm watching this song right now on the ACM awards. Good song. I wanna be more familiar with it though :) so beautiful! Good job yall!

I think this song is about a woman going off to college,and leaves her little boy with her parents and her dad and son die while she is away,plz reply if you have an idear!!!!!!!!

The way i interpreted it, i think its the mothers point of view in the song, the one the younger woman goes to visit, I think the younger woman left when her son died, but then she had to come back to say goodbye to her father who passed away later on, thats why he asks the boy whats it like, cause hes been there, also why she asks her father to pass on the message to her son.

well i listened to the song and then saw the video and finally understood what it really was about. it seems as if the son of the girl had died and then the father of the girl dies later on because he is asking the son what it is like and he said that there were no more goodbyes

the song has a lot of meaning, it depends on where you want it or how you relate to it.. it could be for the dead father or the girl breaking up with her. it was in this part, "one day i thought i'd see her with her daddy by her side and violins would play "here comes the bride"". most people relates to this song as a, "dead relative or someone close has died" song. while others also use this as a "breakup" song. It's all up to you guys.. i for one kinda like it as a break up song. It doesn't mean that the video has to be the meaning to the song.. This is why i like rascal flatts, their songs has so many meanings.
