Langhorne Slim - I Love You, But Goodbye Lyrics






Why did you come?
If you can't stay forever
How could you leave me all
Alone on this Earth

Who was I before you?
I can't remember
Why couldn't I have been the one to
Leave here first?

I love you but goodbye
I love you but goodbye

No words of wisdom
Can make me feel better
Lately I'm having hard days and I
I curse the night

Maybe I'll fly far away
And try to forget her
Maybe I'll stay right where I am and
Get on with my life

She said I love you but goodbye
I love you but goodbye
A bird with clipped wings can still sing
But can no longer fly

What are we here for?
Who makes the decision?
For every beginning
There must come an end

I want to thank you darling
For all that you've given
I want to thank you, thank you for
Being my friend

And I love you but goodbye
I love you but goodbye
I love you but goodbye
I love you but goodbye

  1. L.... F....

    Found this guy by accident... A happy mistake!

  2. I.... L....

    Nice song..!

  3. O.... B....

    To me, this song is about the death of my Father. The feeling of loss was much harder to bear than the sorrow – something that surprised me. But now, I have internalized him – I say that I keep him in my pocket.

  4. m.... m....

    beautifully tragic

  5. B.... S....

    Best song I've heard in a very very long time.

  6. M.... W....

    woke up with this song in my head
    can you blame me

  7. J.... D....

    Jesus. That's sad and beautiful.
