Dave Matthews Band - Say Goodbye Lyrics Meaning

About this song, Dave speaks in his concert at Blue Note (Columbia, Mo - 22 October 1994): "So one time, uh, so one time, I'm stuck in a room, in a little house, and we're kinda snowed in. We got a little fire burning and there's a girl with me, who's a good friend of mine, and we're all alone, and she's got a boyfriend, and I got a girlfriend, but then one thing leads to another, and next day we're all kinda uncomfortable. *Ahem.* So that's, this song's called Say Goodbye"

This scenario will not happen if you truly love your significant other and you really treat your good friends as strictly friendship and you let them feel and be blunt at them that you are only friends. There will be no temptation of thinking of having an affair or something.

Also, those who are in a monogamous relationships are free to have many friends as they want as long as they are loyal and true to their significant other.

However, if one day you or your significant other or both of you became to close to a good friend of yours. It's better to set each other free and realize that you were never really meant for each other. But if you realize you truly love each other then continue your relationship.

- Had platonic male friends before.
