Then we've already said our last goodbye
I won't be there when you get home
By now there's someone else that hears you cry
I wonder if he holds you like I did
I hope that he can love you better
Cause we were everything that's right
At the wrong time
I didn't want to lose you
Leave you with a broken heart
But wherever we are, we're miles apart
I know that we tried, but this is the last goodbye
Oh, I didn't want to let you go
But wherever we are, we're miles apart
I know that we tried….
But this is the last goodbye
We were almost beautiful
A broken piece of art put on display
But we were never possible
Another perfect moment thrown away
I know somebody out there will love you
They'll be the forever we never were
Cause we were everything that's right
At the wrong time
I didn't want to lose you
Leave you with a broken heart
But wherever we are, we're miles apart
I know that we tried, but this is the last goodbye
Oh, I didn't want to let you go
But wherever we are, we're miles apart
I know that we tried….
But this is the last goodbye
If you hear this on the radio
Then we've already said our last goodbye
Our last goodbye
I didn't want to lose you
Leave you with a broken heart
But wherever we are, we're miles apart
I know that we tried, but this is the last goodbye
The last goodbye
I know that we tried….
But this is the last goodbye
The Last Goodbye music video makes me laugh. And if you pay attention, you'll notice that David Cook laughs in it a few times, too. It’s not really what you’d expect from a song about the end of a relationship that was right, just at the wrong time. I love it when artists take a chance and subvert expectations.
For me, this song can be about more than a failed relationship. It speaks to knowing when to let go, when to just turn and walk away – from a person, from a job, from a bad habit. (I know, easier said than done!) If you know you’ve tried everything you can and something still isn’t right, maybe you just need to say a last good-bye.
