So Now Goodbye

Kylie Minogue · Light Years

Goodbye-
Goodbye-
Goodbye-

Remember when I saw you for the first time
I never thought you'd be mine
Then we went ahead and fell in love
Heaven was a common ground
We were never coming down
The two of us we had more than enough
You and I are not the same
To you love is just a game
Things will never be the same again

So now goodbye
This time I will be gone goodbye
Stayed for way too long
Started out with trust
But it isn't just about the good times baby

Remember all the promises we swore to
Can't say I didn't warn you
How I did adore you way back then (I did adore you adore you)
Ohhhhh

But you broke a solemn vow
Ha! you're paying for it now
Wouldn't you expect more from a friend
You and I are not the same
To you love is just a game
Things will never be the same again

So now goodbye
This time I will be gone goodbye
Stayed for way too long
Started out with trust
But it isn't just about the good times baby

So now goodbye
This time I will be gone goodbye
I stayed for way too long
I don't need your lies
And I am oh so tired of excuses baby

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

This time will be gone goodbye
Stayed for way to long this time
It all started out with trust
But it isn't about the good times baby

So now goodbye
This time I will be gone goodbye
I stayed for way too long
I don't need your lies
And I am oh so tired of excuses baby

So now goodbye
This time I will be gone goodbye
Stayed for way too long
Started out with trust
But it isn't just about the good times baby

So now goodbye
This time I will be gone goodbye
I stayed for way too long
I don't need your lies
And I am oh so tired of excuses baby

So Now Goodbye

Released on the 2001 album Light Years, 'So Now Goodbye' stands as a defining track in Kylie Minogue's evolution from pop icon to sophisticated performer. The song exemplifies the album's mature sound, blending dance-pop rhythms with a more introspective, R&B-influenced vocal delivery that marked a significant shift in her discography. Produced by the band The Human Abstraction, the recording features a polished production style that prioritizes emotional resonance over the high-energy club anthems of her earlier career. As a centerpiece of Light Years, the track showcases Minogue's ability to craft a song that balances commercial appeal with genuine vulnerability, solidifying her status as a versatile artist capable of navigating diverse musical landscapes while maintaining her distinct identity.
