The protagonist has been seeing a woman who seems a bit sad for some reason. He tries to show her a good time and give her gifts to cheer her up but she leaves him and says goodbye anyway, not because she doesn’t care for him but because she’s dying.
She said "Darling I'm in love with your mind
The way you care for me, it's so kind
Love to see you again, I wish I had more time"
She was laughing as she brushed my cheek
"Why don't you call me, angel, maybe next week
Promise now, cross your heart and hope to die"
But I misunderstood, but I misunderstood, but I misunderstood
I thought she was saying good luck, she was saying good bye
But I misunderstood, but I misunderstood, but I misunderstood
I thought she was saying good luck, she was saying good bye
Things I tried to put shine in her eyes
Wire wheels and shimmering things
Wild nights when the whole world seemed to fly
She said "The thing that's so unique
When we're together we don't have to speak
We'll always be such good friends, you and I"
Oh but I misunderstood, but I misunderstood, but I misunderstood
I thought she was saying good luck, she was saying good bye
But I misunderstood, but I misunderstood, but I misunderstood
I thought she was saying good luck, she was saying good
I thought she was saying good luck, she was saying good
I thought she was saying good luck, she was saying goodbye
