GOODBYE MY LOVER
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
‘Cause I saw the end before we’d begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won
So I took what’s mine by eternal right
Took your soul out into the night
It may be over but it won’t there
I am here for you if only you’d care.
***
You touched my heart, you touched my soul
You changed my life and all my goals
My heart was blinded by you
I’ve kissed your lips and held your head
Shared your dreams and shared your bed
I know you well, I know your smell
I’ve been addicted to you.
***
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me.
***
I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can’t break my spirit—it’s my dreams you take
And as you move on, remember me
Remember us and all we used to be
I’ve seen you cry, I’ve seen you smile
I’ve watched you sleeping for a while
***
I’d father (mother) your child
I’d spend a lifetime with you
I know your fears and you know mine
We’ve had our doubts but now we’re fine
And I love you, I swear that’s true
I cannot live without you.
***
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me.
***
And I still hold your hand in mine
In mine when I’m asleep
And I will bear my soul in time,
When I’m kneeling at your feet.
***
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me.
***
I’m so hollow, baby, I’m so low
I’m so, I’m so, I’m so hollow.

even if i don’t know how to sing it.
death to my heart!
death to you in my heart!
goodbye my lover,
goodbye my friend.
