Kelly Clarkson - Good Goes The Bye Lyrics






They say Rome wasn't built in a day
But you and I went and built it anyway
And it only took a second to watch it all fall to dust
I thought you hung up the moon
And you thought I lit up the room
But the lights turned off and it was the end of us

[Chorus:]
Slam goes the door
Hush goes the phone
Out goes the flame
And I'm standing here alone
Burn goes the drink
Down go the tears
Drip goes the sink
And I'm missing you like hell
Break goes the heart
Wrong goes the right
Good goes the bye

It's like we pulled the pin out of a grenade
It just didn't go off right away
But man did it go off when it finally did
Everything's suddenly magnified
It's loud and it's quiet at the same time
As the echo of it's all over sets in

[Chorus]

I can't go back, we can't be friends
And we can't be what we were then
You can't be mine, and I can't be yours
And it's not love anymore

Slam goes the door
Hush goes the phone
Out goes the flame
And I'm standing here alone
Burn goes the drink
Down go the tears
Drip goes the sink
And I'm missing you like hell
Break goes the heart
Wrong goes the right

Goodbye

  23. J.... M....

    I love this song, but can someone tell me what the phrase "Good Goes The Bye" means?

    J.... M....

    @Joshua Marcke Good bye. She was just making it how she made the others.

    J.... M....

    She basically means a bad goodbye, goodbye without the good. Bye. Basically.

    J.... M....

    Joshua Marcke Everything that was "good" in the relationship, is now a goodbye. She had to say goodbye to the relationship.

    J.... M....

    Joshua Marcke Certainly everyone understood something different.

    J.... M....

    yeah, this is a piece of art, so there really is no one right interpretation. mine goes a little different too:

    her bye is "for good"; it is final and cannot not be undone because it is what both of them needed, because the relationship has become toxic and both have become miserable in each other's company.

    "i can't go back, we can't be friends.
    we can't be what we were then.

    you can't be mine, and i can't be yours.
    and it's not love anymore."

  24. M.... V....

    NATALIE HEMBY: you are a gem of a talent. I have been a fan since your "sweet girl" (featured on FELICITY) days. You + Kelly = gold!

    M.... V....

    Mandy Van Vleck, Who's that?

    M.... V....

    @Oliver the writer of the song, here's her demo version before Kelly covered it https://youtu.be/8fKH6EBASUY

  25. S.... R....
