2ème couplet (idem au niveau des notes)
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
2ème pré-chorus :
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
Refrain :
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.

| welll.....i just dont see how she can say that james blunt is cheesy, when 98 degrees is literally SHEER cheese. personally i love ricky gervais, but was just being insightful.... and while i like some of ashlees songs, she certainly is no rocker. | |

| He sings this song with such emotion its so beautiful, u can really feel his pain especially at the end when he sings 'im so hollow baby', ive felt like that after a particularly bad break up. The bit about his dreams i think when something really bad has happened and u are dreaming in your own world and then when u wake up theres a moment when everything is fine but then u remember the bad stuff... | |

| This is a beautiful song but I am a bit confused about who was in control of ending the relationship. Cos I saw the end before we'd begun Yes I saw you were blunt and I knew I had won It sounds like he's saying it was doomed from the start, but something about her pulled him in. | |

| queen_jobo, first off thanks for ripping off my username....secondly what are you talking about? its not cheese, its heartfelt...you saw how this song can move people to tears. personally i dont see how you can rate 98 degrees and call this cheese. lyrical genius without doubt - clearly you've never been in love...this is so personal and accurate, its simply beautiful. | |

| I feel like I'm intruding on argument here... This isn't cheesy. 'Love is blind... My heart was blinded by you'. It's putting a twist on what some may call 'cheese'. You can't say lines like "You can't break my sprit, it's my dreams you take" is in any way cheese or anything except lyrical genius! P.S. I don't like Ashlee Simpson or Ricky Gervais, but I haven't even heard of 98 degrees. There's my opinion on the more unrelated matters. | |

| Breaking up with someone thats not just your lover but your best friend aswell. You have been through everything with this person, you know them so well and then they are gone. Also maybe its just me but does anyone else think theres a conection between this song and his other song cry? In cry there is a line "Lived to see a lovers final breath" maybe this song is about someone dying? All in all though a very touching song This man sings with such emotion its great! | |

| duh queen_jobo dont be so obtuse its not "blunt" thats a mistake, its meant to be "i saw you were blind and i knew that i had won" and god from ur tone i can tell you're a frizzy haired greek kid who doesnt invite her best friends on holiday and harbours a secret (although well-justified) love for ricky gervais. 98 degrees rock about as hard as ashlee simpson. i recommend you listen to more country. | |

| What I say? Amazing, beautiful and almost painful to listen to... just because the relationship breaks down and ends doesn't mean the feelings do! When you have been with someone for a long time there will always be something, if only the memories... or the plans you made (I'd be the father of your child, I'd spend a lifetime with you). You are just left hollow and empty. Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend, you have been the one for me. | |

| The best song on the album without doubt! I seem to loisten to it all the time. So much passion so much emotion. I can't help thinking that someone has really done a number on this guy, and he cant let go, as much as he wants to. Still i love this song! | |

| this song is AMAZING. Mr Blunt is a lyrical genius. It gives me butterflies and chills. You can hear the emotion in his voice as he's singing, you can almost hear him crying. I would like to know who the person he is singing of is, and the story behind the song. I think he must have experienced this first-hand, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to write this as effectively. | |

| uhhh are you trying to imply ashlee simpsons a man? god with all your greek mythology knowledge even someone with a very poor grasp of language (although 92% is really good(!) well done!) should know that god is the masc. and lax rox my sox please dont misuse the word evil in this time of terror. have some sensitivity. | |

| You're right, nobody seems to have heard of him. He's brilliant. This song's amazing, so simple and heartfelt. I especially like the lines "Love is blind but that I knew, and my heart was blinded by you" and "You can't break my spirit, its my dreams you take" However, the lyrics are slightly dodgy on this. What on earth is 'tunnel right'? I think you'll find it's 'eternal right'. | |
