The song is about missing someone and how they regret not seeing them one last time or giving them a proper goodbye.
[Intro: Serj Tankian]
I wasn't there for you
I wasn't there for you
[Verse 1: Serj Tankian]
I know weather's gonna be fine
But I can't see you 'cross the streamline
My love waits for me in daytime
But I can't see you through the snowblind
[Chorus: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian]
But I wasn't there for you, you are gone
And I wasn't there for you, goodbyes are long
Goodbye
And I wasn't there for you, goodbye
I wasn't there for goodbye
I wasn't there for goodbye
[Verse 2: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian]
Well, I know time reveals in hindsight
I can wrestle with the stormy night
Because your love lasts a lifetime
But I can see you through the snowblind
[Chorus: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian]
But I wasn't there for you, you are gone
And I wasn't there for you, goodbyes are long
You are gone
And I wasn't there for you, goodbyes are long
And I wasn't there for you, goodbye!
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge: Serj Tankian]
I wasn't there for you
I wasn't there
I wasn't there for you
[Chorus: Serj Tankian with Daron Malakian]
I wasn't there for you, you are gone
And I wasn't there for you, goodbyes are long
Goodbye!
