Last Goodbye Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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


[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
Kiss me, please kiss me
Kiss me out of desire, baby, 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, oh

[Interlude]
Oh no, no, no
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh

[Verse 4]
Did you say, "No, this can't happen to me"?
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, oh, you didn't know
Ooh, didn't know

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Last Goodbye” was the second single from Grace. It details a man ending a relationship with a woman who both love each other, but both come to terms with the fact that they are truly not for each other, just before the relationship turns sour.

This song was originally titled “Unforgiven”; as stated on his official website by his mother, Buckley went through a metamorphosis with many of his songs, and it is evident when one hears early versions of “Unforgiven”, one of which can be heard on Live at Sin-é (Legacy Edition), and the final version of the song heard on Grace.
