Goodbye My Love

Copyright 2001, Matt H.

You stood there like an angel

So beautiful and pure

Lovesickness was my disease

You were my cure

Your words pierced my soul

Like you were singing only to me

None of your fans mattered

We were so carefree

When you came backstage

They flocked around you

You showed them fake affection

But our love was true.

Soon though you started slipping

Into this dark abyss

Drugs and alcohol took over

And you beat me senseless

Anyone else would have left that first night

But I stayed through thick and thin

I always held hope

That the power of love would win

Five years I've stuck it out

Well I can't anymore

I've packed all my things

I'm headed for the door.

Goodbye my love

I didn't want it to end this way

But you've left me no choice

You've given me no say

I am truly thankful

For all our time together

The bright and sunny days

And the dark and stormy weather

I wish you had let me help

I wish we could have beaten this

I hope someday

You find your way

Signed and sealed with a kiss
