“Lyrically, at first glance, this feels like a straight up, bittersweet breakup song, and in a way it is, but while we were writing it, we were also channeling a lot of different emotions and there’s a second hidden, deeper meaning to every line that relates to being in a band.”
– Simple Plan –
“It’s a break-up song that is kind of about realizing that the person you’re with or you hang out with is just not worth it anymore and it’s not working. There is also a little hidden meaning in that song about being in a band.”
– Pierre Bouvier –
Farewell
Didn’t mean to let you…
After all these wasted nights
I can’t pretend that I’m doing fine
I’ve played it back a thousand times
But now I see it
And I realize
That the damage is done and it’s obvious
We can never go back to the way it was
We’re drifting apart and it’s killing us
It’s killing us
Farewell
Didn’t mean to let you..
Let you down
Mess it up
We both knew we couldn’t last forever
It’s coming down
I’ve had enough
I guess we crumbled under all the pressure
Did my best
For what it’s worth
And I gave you all this heart can give so
Farewell
I didn’t mean to let you
Down
Down
There was a time you’d scream my name
It used to be my getaway
Now all we do is just complain
Maybe I’m the one to blame
But the damage is done and it’s obvious
We can never go back to the way it was
We’re drifting apart and it’s killing us
It’s killing us
Farewell
Didn’t mean to let you..
Let you down
Mess it up
We both knew we couldn’t last forever
It’s coming down
I’ve had enough
I guess we crumbled under all the pressure
Did my best
For what it’s worth
And I gave you all this heart can give so
Farewell
I didn’t mean to let you
Down
Down
It’s such
A shame
How did we end up this way
We can’t go back
And things will never be the same
All hopes faded
Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you wanted?
Farewell
I didn’t mean to let you..
Let you down
Mess it up
We both knew it couldn’t last forever
It’s coming down
I’ve had enough
I guess we crumbled under all the pressure
Did my best
For what it’s worth
And I gave you all this heart can give, so
Farewell
Didn’t mean to let you
Farewell
Didn’t mean to let you
Down
Down
(Farewell)
