James Blunt - Goodbye My Lover Lyrics

Artist: James Blunt

Album: Miscellaneous

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 stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You 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.

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 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.

    I think it's about someone that you like eventhought he has done.
    some bad things but you can't see them because you love him and.
    when he's gone nothing else matters you just want to be in his.
    arms.

    I think its a song about a man, remembering the love he had for a woman now gone.It seems to me the other guy in the video is her boyfriend, and he is the best friend or other guy she runs to. And his feelings were far beyond that of hers, and she went back to her boyfriend. And now he watches her, and wonders if she thinks of him the way he dreams of being with her. He is trying to figure out why she chose the other guy over him, especially because his feelings are so strong and he wanted to give her the world. And without her he is just empty and hollow. And only will he confess his feelings when she has gone and past and he can honestly say how he felt which is why he says he will bear his soul, when kneeling at her feet.

    This song has lots of meanings for me - its about bareing your soul to that one special person and then having them turn their back on you . . . . .and you still want them. You are hurt big time,
