Best breakup song ever

  So, I find it funny how you can find deep and profound meaning in poetry, lyric and music much more at certain times than others.  Often it seems like a song that you have listened to many times before suddenly "makes sense" while experiencing an emotion that reflects what the author may have been feeling at the time it was written.  The voice of human experience often seems to harmonize and resonate with people of any background because emotion is universal.  


  Someone once told me that the way you know you're in love is when all the cheesy love songs on your iPod suddenly begin to make sense.  So too when you feel your heart hurting...


  I came across this song again a couple of weeks ago in a moment of loss and pain.  It made sense at the time.  I thought I would share it.  Perhaps it will resonate with you and your heart will sing it's own harmonies.


"Goodbye My Lover"

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 hand.
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 and 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 bare 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.
