Goodbye My Lover Lyrics

Cover art for Goodbye My Lover lyrics by James Blunt

I've recently broken up with my girlfriend and this is the first song that has actually honestly made me cry. It's just so beautifully honest; when he says things like 'I know your smell... i'd be the father of your child' is just so pointient and shameless, and I don't think there are many artists who've been able to write things like that. That's just how you feel when you break up with someone. I don't really think it's about someone's death, as lines like 'I am here for you, if you'd only care' doesn't really fit. It's simply about how utterly heartbroken, devastated and ripped apart he felt when he wrote it. I can't really put how I feel about the song into words... its just indescribablely beautiful and haunting.
