    Lyrics:
    I drove up the hill just to say goodbye,
    But all I found was a For Sale sign.
    Put my hand on the gate and there’s tears in my eyes,
    And all that’s been left since the minute you died,
    Are the chandeliers in the trees and ceramic bees,
    But now they’re just covered in leaves.
    My hands are shaking as I type in the code.
    The gate doesn’t open, just a voice that says, “no”.
    But I know inside there’s a piece of your soul,
    That they’re painting over and everything else will be sold.
    And the piano that played on its own is not playing no more.
    I wish that you had called somebody.
    And if I wasn’t there, I’m sorry.
    You made me believe you were strong.
    I wish you had called me and told me that something was wrong.
    So goodbye to my best friend ever.
    I can’t believe you’re gone forever.
    I came up to find you today,
    Cause I finally found all the words that I needed to say.
    But a dark thought got there first.
    They buried your ashes in a Prozac pill,
    And all the vultures came to chew on your will.
    I hate that you’re gone and the questions you leave,
    And it’s sad that your daughter’s not talking to me.
    Well, I can’t draw a heart so I drew you a star on the Hollywood Boulevard.
    I wish that you had called somebody.
    And if I wasn’t there, I’m sorry.
    You made me believe you were strong.
    I wish you had called me and told me that something was wrong.
    So goodbye to my best friend ever.
    I can’t believe you’re gone forever.
    I came up to find you today,
    Cause I finally found all the words that I needed to say.
    But a dark thought got there first.
    I drove up the hill just to say goodbye,
    But all I found was a For Sale sign.
    Put my hand on the gate and there’s tears in my eyes,
    And all that’s been left since the minute you died,
    Are the chandeliers in the trees and ceramic bees,
    But now they’re just covered in leaves.

    It seems your most penetrating songs come from darkness. The empathy contained within you to feel the world that way must be heart rending. You are truly special, James Blunt.

      Cantar a realidade com sentimentos tristes, não significa trevas, escuridão? Más,verdadeiros sentimentos da alma,do coração,Trevas significa escuridão ,no máximo ele expressa lastimar,tristeza por acontecimentos vividos,adoro a expressão de realidades com a junção de vivências(I'm love this músics!)'_'♥️🇧🇷✌🏼🎧

    A story cut from real life. So many people leave because we think everything is fine. We think it's ok because we want to think that way so as not to get involved in other people's problems. Sometimes, behind the smile and the words "it's great", there is pain, suffering and dark thoughts. Only after death do we ask questions that will never be answered. Sometimes it's enough to hold your hand, let each other talk, or just be silent together. The words "you can count on me" are only words if they are not backed up by actions. Let this song be an inspiration to others. If it saves even one life, it's worth it.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    You are such a blessing and have such an incredible talent to move people. I've been unfortunate enough to lose three parents and a good friend to those dark thoughts and that haunts me every day at 20 years old. Grieving is its own process, but as soon as things get easier there's just something new to grieve about. This is exactly what I needed to hear on probably one of my roughest days since my dad's in July. Thank you a ton. This is beautifully written.

    As a teenager lucky enough to have grown up in the 70's, loving lyrics and an eclectic taste in music, I was an ardent David Bowie fan. The lyrics in all of these songs are not only intelligently put together with wonderful melodies, they are evocative and emotive. Truly wonderful, thank you for bringing me back to this kind of music.
