I Love You, but Goodbye Songtext
von 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 honey
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
