So This Is Goodbye (Pink Ganter Remix)

This song is so sad. To me, the meaning is pretty simple: he's trying to find a way to move on from a terrible, but inevitable break up/divorce and make a new life for himself. He's finding it extremely difficult because he didn't really get a chance to say goodbye, or get closure.

"within half an hour you'll be gone and i won't see you anymore"

It should be "So this is goodbye" rather than "It's always say goodbye"

the first line is: "Within half an hour you'll be gone and I won't see you anymore."

the next line is: "You left my love on the line..."

Such a great song. His words are so smooth they give me chills.

I think its about how his lover just left him really unexpectedly. He clearly is also still in love with this person, never got any closure, or any reasons/explanations. "so, this is goodbye". Since he never got any answers, what else can he do? Its goodbye, its the end. But the persons ghost still haunts him, but he forces himself to get over them. For the good of himself. Cause hanging on the that one person, especially after they are really truly gone, is only hurting yourself.

Its a sad thing that he's going through, and I definitely don't wish is upon no one! Very great song!

The thing never now, were you you're gone and I wont see you anymore

You left my love on the line and said that you were leaving And you wont come home again And you wont come home again

And I'll miss you like your dead but I never got to grieve you cause I saw you in the arms of someone new so your phantom follows me like a child would his mother or a lover who never said goodbye so this is goodbye

And I'll cried myself to sleep and you thought I was happy I was lonely and had nowhere to go and I heard that you moved on and found a brand new family and changed your married name and everything has changed

And I'll miss you like your dead find a way to grieve you cause I need to try and start again and your ghost will have to leave like a child would his mother or a lover who has to say goodbye

so this is goodbye so this is goodbye so this is goodbye so this is goodbye so this is goodbye so this is goodbye

I think Fitzsimmons deliberately blurs the line between the love shared among lovers and the love shared among parents and their children. This sounds strange, but I think it's effective in conveying the level of abandonment he feels and emotional vulnerability he is/was open to. The song might also speak to a pattern of abandonment and trust issues, which can be highlighted by the line: "it's always say goodbye". I think the song can be purposely read from either perspective for those reasons.
