I guess it's about finding the person that's so perfect for you and wanting them really bad but then realizing that you can't have this person...so there was really no goodbye when they left since you never got to feel what it was like to have them in the first place :-\
Lyrics
I had a dream you were real
you touched my face but left no trace
Somethin to hold on to
Nothin to remember you by
a scent in your direction
but I knew this was goodbye
I am on my knees
hopin you'll come back
maybe in this lifetime
I didn't get the chance
to catch just one more glance
because you left without sayin goodbye
I open my eyes but you're not there
you left a note with little hope
nothin to hold on to
nothin to remember you by
footprints in the sand
and I knew that this was goodbye
