Last Goodbye Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I remember the night we first met
We were so young, I can’t forget
How you kissed my face (Whoa)
And you took me home (Whoa)
I remember the life years ago
The air mattress on the floor
That was before (Whoa)
A life took control

[Chorus]
Oh, how we lost our minds
When we fell in love that night
I never thought that I
Would ever leave your side
Oh, how we lost our minds
When we fell in love that night

Promise me you won't cry
This is our last goodbye

[Verse 2]
When I was lost, I found you
When I was broke, you bought me shoes
You were my first (Whoa)
And dammit, this hurts (Whoa)
Now you've got a girl, someone new
And I can't pretend to just be cool
I can't be your friend (Whoa)
So this is the end
[Chorus]
Oh, how we lost our minds
When we fell in love that night
I never thought that I
Would ever leave your side
Oh, how we lost our minds (We lost our minds)
When we fell in love that night

Promise me you won't cry
This is our last goodbye

[Post-Chorus]
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Promise me you won’t cry
This is our last goodbye (Our last goodbye)

[Chorus]
Oh, how we lost our minds
When we fell in love that night
I never thought that I
Would ever leave your side
Oh, how we lost our minds (We lost our minds)
When we fell in love that night (Love that night)

Promise me you won't cry (No)
This is our last goodbye (Our last goodbye)
[Post-Chorus]
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Promise me you won't cry
This is our last goodbye (Our last goodbye)

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” details Kesha’s fears of meeting her ex-boyfriend, Harold Karsenty – explicitly starring in “The Harold Song.”

In Kesha’s reality-documentary show, Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life, she states her biggest fear was that it would become an “emotional shit-show.”

Kesha’s brother, Lagan Sebert, organised them to go hiking together. After returning to the states, Kesha stated:

I don’t know. I think I’m over it.

She’s come to peace with leaving Harold, and this song is proof of it.
