Never a Right Time to Say Goodbye

Chris Brown's lyrics had never been more apt, minus the ongoing furore about him and Rihanna.

I found this song's lyrics deeply meaningful and I guess what Bev told me rings true -

That we can never have the ending we wish for.
No break ups or endings will end up the nice way we hope it will, especially when we are at the receiving end.

This lyric is penned from the male's perspective, when the relationship is no longer working out anymore and unfortunately, someone has to be the "bad guy" and open his/her mouth and spout the hurtful and undesired line.

And you know what? It strikes me that there's never a really right time to say goodbye.

So, sometimes it's not really the guy's fault when they say goodbye.

Someone's gotta do the dirty job.

Maybe there's indeed some truth to "it's not you, it's me girl".

So cheer up girl, everything will straighten out. I'm here.

*hugs*

Say goodbye - Chris Brown

Baby come here and sit down, let's talk

I got a lot to say so I guess I'll start by

Saying that I love you,

But you know, this thing ain't been

No walk in the park for us

I swear it'll only take a minute

You'll understand when I finish, yeah

And I don't wanna see you cry

But I don't wanna be the one to tell you a lie so

[HOOK]How do you let it go?

When you, You just don't know?

What's on, The other side of the door

When you're walking out, talk about it

Everything I tried to remember to say

Just went out my head

So I'll do the best I can to get you to understand

[CHORUS]There's never a right time to say goodbye

But I gotta make the first move

'Cause if I don't you gonna start hating me

Cause I really don't feel the way I once felt about you

Girl it's not you, it's me I gotta gotta figure out what I need

There's never a right time to say goodbye

But we know that we gotta go

Our separate ways

And I know it's hard but I gotta do it,

And it's killing me

Cause there's never a right time

Right time to say goodbye

But now your heart is breaking

And a thousand times I

Found myself asking, "Why? Why?"Why am I taking so long to say this?

But trust me, girl I never

Meant to crush your world

And I never thought I would see the day we grew apart

And I wanna know

[HOOK]How do you let it go?

When you, you just don't know? What's on,

The other side of the door

When you're walking out, talk about it

Everything I tried to remember to say

Just went out my head

So I'll do the best I can to get you to understand

[CHORUS]There's never a right time to say goodbye

But I gotta make the first move

'Cause if I don't you gonna start hating me

Cause I really don't feel the way I once felt about you

Girl it's not you, it's me

I gotta gotta figure out what I need

There's never a right time to say goodbye

But we know that we gotta go

Our separate ways

And I know it's hard but I gotta do it,

And it's killing me

Cause there's never a right time

Right time to say goodbye
