Last Goodbye Lyrics

Performed by Jeff Buckley
Review The Song (34)

(J. Buckley)

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die.
But it's over
Just hear this and then I'll go:
You gave me more to live for,
More than you'll ever know.

Well, this is our last embrace,
Must I dream and always see your face?
Why can't we overcome this wall?
Baby, maybe it's just because I didn't know you at all.

Kiss me, please kiss me,
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation.
Oh, you know it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye.

Did you say, "No, this can't happen to me"?
And did you rush to the phone to call?
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind saying,
"Maybe, you didn't know him at all,
you didn't know him at all,
oh, you didn't know"?

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime,
Burning clues into this heart of mine.
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes, and the memories
Offer signs that it's over, it's over.

I'm just a girl | Reviewer: Devastation | 3/26/12

I guess I'm the same as everyone else. That's all I've ever felt like. My boyfriend and I were going out for a few months. We never had a problem, until he cheated on me. I have no idea why though, everything was great. He apologized and I foolishly took him back. Two months later he got a girl pregnant and he left me because he wanted to be a good dad for his kid. I was stupid enough to stay with him. This song reminds me of that pain. It has been a year and I still feel like a disposable woman.

diluted by that old feeling | Reviewer: Virginia | 7/30/11

I loved someone and I absolutely never believed he had the capacity to hurt me in the way that he did. I hear this song and so hope that these words articulate his remorse. I didn't know him at all.

... | Reviewer: Ben | 7/3/11

I split up with my girlfriend after been an absolute dick to her and cheating on her, I thought I would be happier single, but unfortunately I learnt the meaning of 'you never truly someone till their gone' I learnt it the hard way this song makes me wish that I'd done things differently but I've got to let her be happy, and if that means her been with someone else and me been unhappy so be it, she will always be my everything. But I got no one to blame but myself.

Awesome Song | Reviewer: prakash singh | 5/31/11

Awesome song. I remember my first love when i hear this song. I want to remember her face completely but, it comes very hazy. Time is a very selfish thing sometimes it keeps the details for itself only.

I feel related to | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/24/11

My boyfriend just broke up with me four days ago, telling me that he was unhappy, and then asked out my bestfriend since first grade out the next day. It was after four years. He refuses to try to work things out between us, but slowly I realize that this could be the best thing for us. I've been broken all week, and I miss him so much. I lost my bestfriend. This song came on the radio, and I burst into tears, relating to every single word. I will miss him dearly, but I at least have song like these to kinda help me through, just reminding me that I'm not alone.

Everyone's story. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/19/11

Is just a month my boyfriend broke up with me without nothing to tell me... I miss him so much and I still hope that it isn't over yet... I will fight for him, because I know the meaning of the sentence "loving someone more than yourself".
I don't want a last goodbye, I cannot accept this!

it's so true | Reviewer: Sue | 3/10/11

why are this words so true? why do people all have the same story? why can't we just love and be loved forever?
it's so so sad. I wish I could turn back time and try to fix my love. this Last goodby is too unbearable.
amazing song, amaizing man. so sad.

I don't want a Last Goodbye | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/27/11

My dad wants me to play this at his funeral. I don't know how i will be able to do it but I'll find a way. After all it's my dad he has done so much for me and yet i have done little for him. It is the love that we share that will carry me through the rest of my life after him. He is one of my best friends and he is the best father a daughter could ever have.

Voice of an angel ... | Reviewer: Abdul | 1/12/11

My girlfriend and I are breaking up after 16 years. During this time she convinced me that I was her soul mate and I did believe eventually... but I still don't know what love is ....at the end she told me that there were other soul mates which one meets during their life time and in future lives ....yes she read the book "MANY LIVES, MANY MASTERS by Brian W.
I don't want to send this song to her as I believe it is not over yet ...your mind can achieve the impossible ... nothing is impossible, I believe !

Can't say goodbye | Reviewer: Omar | 12/8/10

I've been broken up with the love of my life since September. Since then I've been depressed to the darkest point a person can imagine,attempted to take my own life,and sought help from everyone from family to friends to doctors and all in between. But it was not until this song came on the radio about three weeks ago one night as I was driving that I felt even the smallest bit like somebody connected with what I was feeling.

I had not heard of Jeff Buckley before that and it was the first time I ever heard the song. But when I got home I searched his history and his music and when I finally picked up Grace and played the album all the way through I became a Jeff Buckley fan for life. He was/is quite simply a musical genius. There were so many songs on Grace that spoke to me and directly related to how I was feeling and thinking and when I found out that his life was cut short at the same age I am now, it made the impact that much deeper. I lost the love of my life because of my personal problems and it is chnaging my life in ways I could never had guessed. She is with someone else now, and while she tells me it is over she says she still cares about me and wants me to be ok. I have tried and tried but I feel I have yet to say my last goodbye.

Dad | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/5/10

I played this beautiful, yet haunting song at my dad's funeral, almost two yrs ago (16/12/08.) For a while, after his death, I yearned to listen (to Jeff) but the wounds were too raw. Now, Almost 2 years later, I can listen, I can cry and yet this song makes me so very happy too.

Haunting and sad | Reviewer: NatashaNew | 3/3/10

I have a horrible memory, but I remember the very first time I heard this song (way back when the video was showing on VH1.) Incredible song, IMO, rivals "Halleluah." It says so much without so many words.....fabulous song and we miss Jeff!

Tragically beautiful | Reviewer: Greilie | 1/21/10

I love this song on so many levels. I am now in a precarious relationship with the man who is absolutely perfect for me. He knows me so well, I know him better than i know myself and yet "maybe, I didn't know him at all." Or maybe that is just something we tell ourselves in the end, because it is simply too painful to think "why?" I also really like "Lover, you should have come over." Need any other depressing music? I have recommendations!!!

happy tears | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/1/09

One of my close friends was a huge fan of Jeff, and he took his own life, and asked for this song to be played at his funeral. I can't listen to it without crying, or thinking of him. But it also makes me think of the good times, and I tear up, and smile at the same time.

Perfect | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/6/09

Jeff Buckley's voice is perfect in this song. I just love it. The words are truly amazing and it's hard not to shed a tear when you listen to it. As like most of Buckley's songs the words are so deep and dark but yet not depressing. I have only recently started listening to his music but can't stop talking about it.Perfect just sums it up nicely
