Lyrics I Love You, But Goodbye - 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
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 darling
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
