歌曲歌詞
英文歌詞
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.
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.
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.
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.
中英歌詞
Did I disappoint you or let you down?
是否我曾令你沮喪低落 失望不已
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
是否我應赧然羞愧 接受天神審判
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun.
因為 故事尚未開始 我已看到了末章
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
是的 看到你惘然無措 我知道我贏了
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
於是我帶走了屬於我的 終生所有
Took your soul out into the night.
帶走你的靈魂 隱入漫漫長夜
It may be over but it won't stop there,
看似尾聲漸進 實則餘音裊裊
I am here for you if you'd only care.
倘若你有心 此情便可待
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
你令我心弦觸動 靈魂戰慄
You changed my life and all my goals.
生命因你而不同 追求為你而改變
And love is blind and that I knew when,
愛情令人理智全無 我明白這條箴言
My heart was blinded by you.
是在我對你痴心無措的時候
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
我曾輕吻你的唇 輕揉你的頭
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
曾相擁入眠 分享美夢
I know you well, I know your smell.
再熟悉不過的你 再熟悉不過的味道
I've been addicted to you.
我已無可自拔的淪陷於你
Goodbye my lover.

我是個夢想家 但當我醒來
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
我的意志堅不可摧 夢卻已被你帶走
And as you move on, remember me.
今日一別 征途漫漫 勿忘我
Remember us and all we used to be.
勿忘我們 勿忘舊時光
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
曾見你的淚水 曾見你的笑容
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
也曾見你安然入眠

我本應是你孩子的父親
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
本應和你共度餘生

When I'm kneeling at your feet.
我將把靈魂凍結在時間的琥珀中
Goodbye my lover.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
我的心已被掏空 寶貝 心已不在
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
我是如此的 如此的 如此的空洞
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
我的靈魂已乾涸 寶貝 靈魂已死
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.
我是如此的 如此的 如此的空洞
歌曲評價
“你可以在一首歌中殺了人然後逍遙法外。”上尉先生的這句話說得確實精彩。看他在"Chasing Time The Bedlam Sessions"現場音樂會上，當他安坐著彈起鋼琴，唱“Goodbye My Lover”（成為喪禮時最常用的歌曲，根據英國《太陽報》報導）與“No Bravery”（成為反思戰爭影片的當紅背景音樂）時，那一臉的真誠與憂傷以及盈眶的熱淚，足以讓在場坐著靜聽他唱歌講故事的觀眾黯然神傷、心生同感。或許這些第一時間就能洗刷蕩滌人心的歌曲早已“殺死”過James Blunt無數次了，每次重唱都如同心魄新生。你的心智不得不為他真摯濃烈地多情善感而觸動激動，一位真正能打動人心的歌手就是這樣，唱出了自己的心聲同時釋放了聽者潛藏的心思欲望。
