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.

    This song is about his great friend Carrie Fisher. He lived with her in LA and even recorded Goodbye My Lover in the bathroom there!

    This song manages to make me feel grief and sadness, without feeling down and negative about the future, but rather feeling strong and confident in embracing the emotions and continuing to go on to make the best of life, living it to its fullest.

    My father passed away before I could say goodbye. August 2001 I entered the hospital room and knew, instantly, you were gone. Cancer took you away, but you'll always be with me and I'll always love you. Thank you, James Blunt, for letting the tears flow.

    Know how you feel as I never got to say goodbye to my Mum before cancer took her. Thankfully my Dad, her one brother and his wife were with her. Though she'd been ill for so long the hardest part was seeing DNR in her notes.

I was really prepared for flying. That was my good time as a boy, as you show it here. Thank you for the very nice video and your beautiful voice. Many friendly greetings from Switzerland.

    @Jamesbluntspot I discovered one of your songs some time back and purchased a couple of your albums. I always take you into my shower and listen to your music. I use it to cry to and to remember when I was younger which may make me cry now! I had my dad living with me for seven years, he had cancer. I remember seeing his clothes folded on his chair and if I didn’t say good night, I wouldn’t have slept because you never know when it’s the last chance one has! He died with me holding his hand and I can still feel his hand in mind, energy flowing through my hand into his heart. I have Monsters as a ring tone, I don’t think a day goes by that I don’t listen to your poetry in song! 🇨🇦☮️❤️
