"Goodbye, My Danish Sweetheart" is a song about the protagonist's realization of her past mistakes in a relationship. In the song, she admits that her partner was always better than her and had known from the start that they were meant to be together. She, on the other hand, took a while to recognize their connection. Through the lyrics, she acknowledges that her partner waited and watered her heart until it grew, but she did not appreciate it at the time.
The chorus reflects her understanding that she was not the girl her partner deserved. She acknowledges her flawed behavior and accepts that her partner might want to bury her memory in the past. She hopes that, when her partner talks to others and recalls their relationship, they remember the good sides of her personality and not how she turned out to be.
The second verse tells the audience about the protagonist's turbulent state of mind. She feels a burning sensation inside her, keeping her from falling apart. She acknowledges that her partner has seen what it has done to her heart. She wonders what she should do now that she has realized her mistake.
The outro reiterates the message that there is nobody better than her partner. The song's title, "Goodbye, My Danish Sweetheart", implies the end of their relationship. The song conveys a bittersweet message of love and loss, regret and hope, and the acknowledgment that sometimes, relationships end even when one party wishes they did not.
