Goodbye Love
Inspired by the song from Rent by Jonathan Larson
For J. W.

You can't love me without my body in your bed
Or by knowing I'm the one
Who held the sun.

You don't want to tag me along
Despite the fact you love me.
Despite the fact I love you more.
Despite the fact to me you were an angel
And to you I was your prince.
Despite the fact I fill your senses.
Does that make any sense?

To love me, yet try to fall for another?
Or turn me away, then not leave me alone?

Love to you is something that will
Click
Wake up next to someone
And know they are all and more.
Love to me is something that was
sculpted
After giving you my all and more.
Which is the difference between you, who loves me,
And I, who is in love with you.

But I don't know how you can live
Without ever knowing what we could be.
Loving anyone but you will not tell me.

So Goodbye Love
Goodbye Love
Just came to say Goodbye Love
Goodbye...

After all I've given you,
Understanding your life,
Accepting your faults,
Placing my heart on hold
For you,
You've decided not to even give me a chance?

But then, if you were in love with me
You would forgive me for this,
Like I've always forgiven you...
Instead of giving up on me forever.

So Goodbye Love,
Goodbye Love,
Just came to say Goodbye Love,
Goodbye...

Goodbye Love,
Goodbye Love,
Goodbye Love,
Hello Disease.
