a song of sorrow..
i just so happened to have caught a MTV video of James Blunt’s “GoodBye my Love”. I was not really listening to the lyrics but i was drawn to his voice. I didnt quite like his first release “You’re Beautiful” so i was not really paying attention to the lyrics.
but this song struck a chord in my heart after i really listen to the lyric carefully. it is a song about him saying goodbye to his lover and that they are goin their separate ways. It talks about how he misses her and all the things that had happened between and i really liked the part where he wrote that he is addicted to her.
which brings to mind that how can u stop ur addiction to someone just like that? there would be withdrawal effects like how a drug addict would do if he/she were to suddenly stop taking drugs. so how do u go cold turkey on a relationship? there isnt a help book on that (i dun like really help books coz it may helped the author but maybe not in my situation)
the song end with the line “I’m so hollow, baby, I’m so hollow.” that is what i feeling at the moment eventhough it is not official yet but then the hollowness is fet becoz nowadays we do not spend much time together anymore. it is suppose to smooth the transition from couplehood to singlehood but i cant help feeling hollow.
i have a lot of things to do and have a lot to look forward but i have no one to share it with. what is the point of having so many great things happening to u but deep down u are feeling quite sad, hollow and depressed? hmm…i look forward to things to happen to me next year but not with a lot zest to it. i just take it to just get on and move on with life. life goes on for me but then the heart has stopped functioning. like the song, i too feel hollow and all alone. till then.
James Blunt : Goodbye My Love
- 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.(x2)
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.(x2)
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.(x2)
I’m so hollow, baby, I’m so hollow.
I’m so, I’m so, I’m so hollow.(x2)
