“Nothing Good About This Goodbye” is a song recorded by Rachel Stevens for inclusion on her second studio album “Come & Get It”. The track appears as the eighth track on the album and runs for 3 minutes and 34 seconds. The track was intended to be a single off of the album, but plans were scrapped following the premature leak of the album. “Nothing Good About This Goodbye” is registered on CMRRA with Rachel as a credited artist.
There are three known versions of “Nothing Good About This Goodbye”, the promo version of the song which only exists on early pressings of the promotional disc for the album. The version that appears on ‘Come & Get It’, and then the GMTV Performance Version (which would have likely been the aforementioned single edit). Additionally, “Nothing Good About This Goodbye” is a cover of a previously unreleased Alexis Strum song.
LYRICS
I guess I should say
What is on the tip of my tongue
Cause I’ve seen how it aches
When you’ve missed your chance
The time’s gone
Snap decisions cause you so much pain
Then you come round again
And there’s nothing left at all
Perfect vision now I’m running blind
Too scared of what I’ll find
When you call
Only now I’ve let go
Honey I just don’t know
Sit right here
And watch the sky above for a sign
Tell me, will you miss me
When I’m in your history baby
There ain’t nothing good about this goodbye
If you are the one
This regret will last forever
Cause nobody knows
If we should stay together
Snap decisions cause you so much pain
Then you come round again
And there’s nothing left at all
Selfish, but I think it’s for the best
I’ll miss you for the rest of my life
Only now I’ve let go
Honey I just don’t know
Sit right here
And watch the sky above for a sign
Tell me will you miss me
When I’m in your history baby
There ain’t nothing good about this goodbye
Snap decisions cause you so much pain
Then you come round again
And there’s nothing left at all
Selfish, but I think it’s for the best
I’ll miss you for the rest of my life
Only now I’ve let go
Honey I just don’t know
Sit right here
And watch the sky above for a sign
Tell me will you miss me
When I’m in your history baby
There ain’t nothing good about this goodbye
