Goodbye My Lover

James Blunt

 

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.
and may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
touched my heart you touched my soul.
you changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
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. (bis)

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
and as move you 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 be the father of 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 hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

Talvez por não saber falar de cor, imaginei.
Talvez por saber o que não será melhor, aproximei.
"O meu corpo é o teu corpo, o desejo entregue a nós".
Sei lá eu o que queres dizer... Despedir-me de ti, adeus um dia voltarei a ser feliz... iz.. iz...
Eu já não sei se sei o que é sentir o teu amor não sei o que é sentir
Se por falar falei, pensei que se falasse era fácil de entender
Talvez por não saber falar de cor, imaginei...
Triste é o virar de costas o último adeus, sabe Deus o que quero dizer.
Obrigado por saberes cuidar de mim, tratar de mim, olhar para mim, escutar quem sou...
Eu já não sei se sei o que é sentir o teu amor, ja não sei se sei o que é sentir.
Se por falar falei, pensei que se falasse era fácil de entender...

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand

I have to block out thoughts of you so I don't lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I'm alone
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you. Will you never call again?
And will you never say that you love me just to put it in my face?
And will you never try to reach me?
It is I that wanted space

You defy, I remain
Prisoner of your decisions
I dream, you laugh
I can remember how it started
One day you'll see
Details will make all the difference
I love you, goodbye
Now you know I'm gone
