Lyrics: Langhorne Slim. I Love You, But Goodbye.

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 could make me feel better.
Lately I'm having hard days and I curse the night.
Maybe I'll fly far away and try to forget her.
Maybe I'll stay right here 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 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 that all you've given.
I want to thank you.
I want to thank you for being my friend.

I love you, but goodbye.
I love you, but goodbye
I love you, but goodbye.
I love you, but goodbye
