Lyrics for Bye Bye as interpreted by ReeSeS

Bye Bye Lyrics
This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky ‘cause we will never say bye

As a child there were them times
I didn’t get it but you kept me alive
I didn’t know why you didn’t show up sometimes
On Sunday mornings and I missed you
But when we talked too
All them grown full things
Separation brings
You never let me know it
You never let it show because
You loved me and obviously
There’s so much more left to say
If you were with me today face to face

Chorus:
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
“I wish I could talk to you for awhile”
“I wish I could find a way try not to cry”
As time goes by
And soon as you reach a better place
Still I’ll give the whole world to see your face
And I’m bragging right next to you
It feels like you gone too soon
The hardest thing to do is say bye bye

(Bye Bye 3x)
Bye bye

And you never got the chance to see how good I’ve done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together
I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
With the Teddy Bear you gave to me that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
That you can make it through whatever
It’s so hard to accept the fact you’re gone forever

Chorus:
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
“I wish I could talk to you for awhile”
“I wish I could find a way try not to cry”
As time goes by
And soon as you reach a better place
Still I’ll give the world to see your face
And I’m bragging right next to you
It feels like you gone too soon
The hardest thing to do is say bye bye

(bye bye bye bye bye bye 3x)
Bye bye

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandfathers
Lift your head to the sky ‘cause we will never say bye

Chorus:
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
“I wish I could talk to you for awhile”
“I wish I could find a way try not to cry”
As time goes by
And soon as you reach a better place
Still I’ll give the world to see your face
And I’m bragging right next to you
It feels like you gone too soon
The hardest thing to do is say bye bye

This song is so truthful to everybody. Recently I experienced my first death I've ever gone through and it was somebody I was very close to. My grandfather was very sick and kept so strong just to be able to spend a few more months with us. He was an amazing person and this song puts me into tears because it's so true. I love Mariah Carey and even though most of her songs touch heart, everybody who's ever lost a loved one will absorb this song greatly. I heard this song on the radio and have been looking for it since. It's absolutely phenominal. It's not like an uplifting death song but it shows the true emotions to loosing a loved one. All you want to do is just have one more moment with them, but in the end you have to say good bye... and it's the hardest thing ever.

I love this song.Although I have not going through the death of someone close to me,I have lost people in my life like my best friend.We haven't talked in months but no one knows how sad I am because I keep it inside.I guess the song could also be about losing someone just in your life.Like someone moving away or something.

THOUGHTS GOING OUT TO THOSE WHO HAVE LOST SOMEONE!

i think someone told her exactly what is going on in my life right now, this song is eerily similar to what's happening to me. my grandma died this christmas day and my favorite uncle 2 wks later. "you never got the chance to see how good I’ve done... you never got to see me back at number one" i've done horribly my past 3 yrs of college and she always told me she knew i could do it even till the end this semester i got a 4.0 and she never got to see it. every single line in this song pertains to me, it's so weird and it came along at the perfect time. i didn't really care for mariah carey that much until this song and the timing is perfect. i'm sure everone can relate to this song or will at some point in their life.
"I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together". i can't even talk about this song without tearing up. it is AMAZING. and her voice is so pretty it makes it so much better. "I thought you were so strong
That you can make it through whatever
It’s so hard to accept the fact you’re gone forever" ugh. every single line in this song even by itself is so meaningful. this is my new favorite song. I play it to everyone I know that hasn't heard it. *sigh*

About losing someone in anyway. Death, moving, breaking up. Anyway. It's still sad.

i think this song is about you don't have to say bye to the people you love who've died or broken up with you. they are only a phone call or a prayer away. its about trying to stay strong through tough times and about excepting the fact that they are gone.

i experienced my first death also. when i heard this i thought of it as a break up. my grandma died last week -- i cry everytime i hear this song.

these are my favorite lines:

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
I wish I could talk to you for awhile
I wish I could find a way try not to cry



it really is tough.

I'm Not, by any stretch of the imagination, a Mariah Fan, but this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
its so sad but at the same time kinda hopeful
"we will never say bye bye" Kinda like a "they're always with you" Sorta thing. i've always seen mariah's music as shallow, and her as a barbie, but this song's so true to everyone, it shows a different, more emotional side to mariah.
Its So Bittersweet, and it kinda reaches out to everyone

i'm also the one who cried after hearing this song for nothing in particlar. Its way thatn m/c had rendered the lyrics of this song which makes us emotional. in the video, when a boy cries while taking autograph from m/c is also quite emotional
