307. Goodbye my lover

Heard this song over MTV while working late at nite. Very deep lyrics and it really caught my attention. Guess I get emotional while working late at nite and all alone. :)

I recall while studying marketing back in uni, I read that they always sell things thru TV late at nite because people tend to be more suggestable late at nite. Also they especially chose to sell self help items during the weekends because from their research, they found that people who stay home on friday or saturday nites probably would buy them. For those who can't figure out why, call me :)

Anyway, back to the song by James Blunt.

Goodbye My Lover
by 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 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.

Here're the links to the music video. One's Window Media Player and the other is real player. Both are streaming videos. I think it's brilliantly done and it captures the song's emotion well.

good or bad....? it's one own personal opinion...in mine, it's good. what about u? it's good for a man to show the sensitive side of him too, rather than just pure chauvinism, like what i see in your blog!;0
