This song is about a girl Blunt dated, but he wrote it years after the relationship ended. When he appeared on the UK show Songbook, Blunt explained: "I guess it's a realization that you'll never be with someone, but the frustration that they are still alive and out there in the world. It can be an incredibly painful idea - I sat with the song for quite a long time. But for me, it's probably my most personal song. Whereas 'You're Beautiful' is about a moment, one second in time of passing that person, the song 'Goodbye My Lover' is about a lifetime's worth of emotion, the fact that that relationship is over, and that life continues. And yeah, it's the most personal song on Back To Bedlam.

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 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 I am a dreamer but 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 bear 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
As a young bachelor, I always loved this song. Now as a married man whose wife has decided to go her own way, it’s a complete different experience to hear it. As a bachelor this song was like a window into another’s pain, but now…it’s as if it’s my own soul singing. The pain is unimaginable.
I always shed a tear or two when i listen to this song. It makes me very emotional. I never been in a real relationship, and yet it gives me a weird feeling of hope and sadness at the same time. Cant explain it but its true. You have a beautiful voice that can move mountains :)
Such an emotional song too and I love the emotion in your face the way you sing too what a very beautiful voice and the words are so clear and I love the piano in this song too Thank U Iris xxx 💙
Ok so.. First of all... WHAAAT!!!?? You might as well have written this song. The way you sang it was above and beyond James Blunt's own performances and recordings of this song. I mean, like, WAAATTT??? This is to James Blunt's rendition as Whitney's performances and recording of "I Will Always Love You" to that of songwriter Dolly Parton's. This song has always been a deep part of my being. I first heard it on SNL (of all places) in the hospital waiting room the night my brother was pronounced brain dead and took off the machines the next day. So that's how much this song means to me. And you somehow made me love it more than I ever have. You are a living legend and walking MASTERPIECE, Iris. Just wow. I'm speechless and breathless.

'Cause I saw the end, before we'd begun Yes, I saw you were blind 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 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 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
Wow Iris so beautiful sweetheart I love this cover song and your voice is so clear and you have such a beautiful graceful look on this song too Thank You Iris loved this song so much xxx ♥️💙💕
I just found my partner cheated onme😢😞💔He was my everything and I really believed we’d grow old together. This song is hurting right now. How do I go on without him 😪
Год назад+1
Stay strong girl! ❤️ You can live your best life without him, i’m sure. Take care & give it some time… sending you hugs!
Hi ! You have such a pretty voice 😍 I saw you have stopped your covers but I wish see another soon !!! I sing too and it would be a huge pleasure to sing with you
First, I am sad in every sense of this word I was busy on Thursday and it made me sad because I didn't see you on air And the second thing is the most beautiful thing in the universe about you love everything you feel enjoying regardless of what it is and where it is in the other. Sure, all of us when we hear this rich rich is rich in the painful past of losing a lover or friend or any emotional relationship, kinship, or when you were young in the form of a game for example In the end, this is life. Everything is possible in it

Thank you so much for your lovely comment ❤️ And it's so true that everything is possible in life! Amen to that 🙏🏼
Congratulations on doing this. It's an almost impossible song to cover and particularly so for a female singer because of a desire by many female vocalists to go for vaulting vocals which you impressively resisted. Blunt wrote a beautiful song and perfectly provided all of the emotion the song needed and your performance doesn't try to upstage it but is still beautiful. Well done.

'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 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
I am a dreamer but 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 bear 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
Thanks you so much :)
This song breaks my heart every time I listen to it
