Bare Lyrics
IF YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING LEFT TO SAY
YOU'D BETTER SAY IT NOW
ANYTHING BUT "STAY"
JUST SAY IT NOW
WE KNOW WE'VE REACHED THE END
WE JUST DON'T KNOW HOW
"WELL AT LEAST WE'LL STILL BE FRIENDS"
YEAH ONE LAST USELESS VOW...

"THERE ARE DIFFERENT WAYS TO LIVE"
YEAH I KNOW THAT STUFF
"OTHER WAYS TO GIVE"
YEAH ALL THAT STUFF
BUT HOLDING ONTO USED TO BE
IS NOT ENOUGH
MEMORY'S NOT LIFE
AND IT'S NOT LOVE

WE SHOULD LET IT ALL GO
IT NEVER STAYS THE SAME
SO WHY DOES IT HURT ME LIKE THIS
WHEN YOU SAY THAT I'VE CHANGED?
WHEN YOU SAY THAT I'VE AGED?
SAY I'M AFRAID...

AND ALL THE TEARS YOU CRY
THEY'RE NOT TEARS FOR ME
REGRETS ABOUT YOUR LIFE
THEY'RE NOT REGRETS FOR ME
IT NEVER TURNS OUT HOW YOU WANT
WHY CAN'T YOU SEE?
IT ALL JUST SLIPS AWAY
IT ALWAYS SLIPS AWAY
EVENTUALLY...

SO IF YOU'VE GOT NOTHING LEFT TO SAY
JUST SAY GOODBYE
TURN YOUR FACE AWAY
AND SAY GOODBYE
YOU KNOW WE'VE REACHED THE END
YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHY
AND YOU KNOW WE CAN'T PRETEND
AFTER ALL THIS TIME

SO JUST LET IT ALL GO
NOTHING EVER STAYS THE SAME
SO WHY DOES IT HURT ME LIKE THIS
TO SAY THAT I'VE CHANGED?
TO SAY THAT I'VE AGED?
SAY I'M AFRAID...

BUT THERE ARE LONG LONG NIGHTS WHEN I LAY AWAKE
AND I THINK OF WHAT I'VE DONE
OF HOW I'VE THROWN MY SWEETEST DREAMS AWAY
AND WHAT I'VE REALLY BECOME
AND HOWEVER HARD I TRY
I WILL ALWAYS FEEL REGRET
HOWEVER HARD I TRY
I WILL NEVER FORGET

I WILL NEVER FORGET

Never play this song for someone depressed...it's like handing them a straight razor.

If this song wasnt on wild mood swings I think purchasing it would have been a waste of money. this song is absolutely awesome.

This song is about reaching the end of a relationship. He really doesn't want it to end but he knows it is ending...and he's being a man and acknowledging it...in fact maybe even ended it himself or acted in a way that caused the end. "BUT THERE ARE LONG LONG NIGHTS WHEN I LAY AWAKE
AND I THINK OF WHAT I'VE DONE, OF HOW I'VE THROWN MY SWEETEST DREAMS AWAY
AND WHAT I'VE REALLY BECOME"

But it still makes him sad. He is sad because it is mostly her decision to end it...she's stopped caring about him perhaps in a selfish way "AND ALL THE TEARS YOU CRY
THEY'RE NOT TEARS FOR ME
REGRETS ABOUT YOUR LIFE
THEY'RE NOT REGRETS FOR ME"

its not the first relationship that's ended for him but perhaps one of the most hurtful. you can tell he knows the type of things that happen in these situations.
