I Love You, But Goodbye - Langhorne Slim

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
