Prince - Goodbye [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Last night when I left you fast a sleeping
I should have contemplated suicide
For the smile upon your face that's well worth keeping
By morning - smears for every tear you cry
I could manage a week or two without those kisses
It'd be hard, but something tells me I could try

[Chorus]
For that matter, whatever to make you reconsider
Is there truth when you make love to a lie?
Excuse me, but is this really goodbye?

[Verse 2]
Why'd I ever let you in this morning?
Why'd I let you come inside my door?
I should have known without that smile adorning
Your face - a kiss was not what you came for
That's when your hand reached out to touch me gently
At least that's how it happened in my mind

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Can't begin to understand how I think about you (Everything)
Everything I want to do, I cannot do without you
However wrong you want - I'll be
Just please (please) don't leave (Don't leave)
If it means this life without you, baby
I swear I'll spend it on my knees
Excuse me, but is this really goodbye?
Last night when I left you I was so sure
We'd be together forever and for days
And now my shade of blue couldn't get no bluer
I don't even know what I did to make you go away
I could possibly stage a front and play the cool one (Cool one)
Heart in my hand trying to hold back every cry

[Outro]
But who would applaud me when it's you, my one and only
Who ever gave me a good reason not to die
Excuse me, but is this really: (Goodbye)
Excuse me, but is this really: (Goodbye)
Excuse me, but is this really goodbye?
(Goodbye)
Goodbye, goodbye
(Goodbye)
Goodbye (Goodbye)
