You never disappointed me or ever made me feel blue
for the love we had back then was oh so very true
I was blinded by the romance that I saw within your eyes
and when you finally took me it came as no surprise
You took me to a paradise I had never been before
our souls they touched so tenderly as each other we explored
So much of me you awakened and I never shall forget
because of that I'm now so different than before we ever met
No longer blinded in innocence I need to now move ahead
new paths have now revealed themselves and along them I must tread
I shall never ever forget you for you were a part of me
and when you shared your precious love you set my spirit free
Thank you my love
Thank you my friend
You changed my life forever
You are the one who set me free.
I see that hurt within your eyes but I must walk away
and part of me feels broken but you know I cannot stay
You'll always have a special place right here within my heart
and never will we ever be very far apart
Please don't beg me to stay with you for now I have to find
what life is all about for I am no longer blind
You'll always be a part of me of that I have no doubt
and there'll always be a part of us to each other most devout
Thank you my love
Thank you my friend
You changed my life forever
You are the one who set me free.
I move ahead with part of you
eternally in my heart
remembering what we've been through
as I make this brand new start
Thank you my love
Thank you my friend
You changed my life forever
You are the one who set me free.
The part of you I hold within is full forevermore
I'll remember
I'll remember
I'll remember you forevermore.

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
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 hand
Shared your dreams and shared your bed
I know you well, I know your smell
I've been addicted to you
[x2]
Goodbye my lover
Goodbye my friend
You have been the one
You have been the one for me
I am a dreamer and 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
[x2]
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 bare my soul in time
When I'm kneeling at your feet
[x2]
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'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow
