Song lyrics

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 but that I knew when

My heart was blinded by yours

I've kissed your lips and held your head

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

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

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

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

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow

I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow
