The Bohemian Renegade - You Had Me at Goodbye Lyrics

I recall the way you looked at me
Tears in your eyes, too hurt to see
The love we'd built crumblin' away
I was a fool, thought you'd always stay
Took for granted every smile, every laugh
How can it be, I've lost my better half
When you packed and walked out that door
I knew then, I'd feel this pain forevermore
You had me at goodbye, how could I let this end
I've lost my only love, lost my dearest friend
Slipped right through my hands and fingers
Our life and dreams cruelly linger
Alone with the words I failed to say
You had me at goodbye, the night you walked away
I always thought time was on our side
But instead of you, I listened to my pride
I couldn't read the signs, I didn't feel your pain
Now I'm sitting here alone, slowly going insane
Your words were soft but your truth was loud
As you whispered goodbye, I was too damn proud
To beg you to stay, to love and hold you tight
Now my soul lives forever in that night
You had me at goodbye, how could I let this end
I've lost my only love, lost my dearest friend
Slipped right through my hands and fingers
Our life and dreams cruelly linger
Alone with the words I failed to say
You had me at goodbye, the night you walked away
Now every memory cuts like a knife
I should have told you, you were my life
I let you go, in the dark I watched you fade
I replay words unspoken, choices never made
I see your face in all my dreams
Let me wake from this nightmare, please
For the love we lost, I'd go any distance
Too late, goodbye defines my existence
You had me at goodbye, how could I let this end
I've lost my only love, lost my dearest friend
Slipped right through my hands and fingers
Our life and dreams cruelly linger
Alone with the words I failed to say
You had me at goodbye, the night you walked away
You had me at goodbye, too much too late to mend
I've lost my only love, lost my dearest friend
I'll carry this regret, with each bitter tear I cry
You had me at goodbye
You had me at
Goodbye
