Original Broadway Cast - Goodbye Love lyrics
It's true you sold your guitar and bought a car? It's true, I'm leave now for Santa Fe It's true you're with this yuppie scum? You said you'd never speak to him again Not now Who said that you have any say In who she says things to at all? Yeah Who said that you should stick your nose in other people's Who said I was talking to you? We used to have this fight each night calm down She'd never admit I existed everyone please He was the same way He was always, run away Hit the road, don't commit You're full of sh** She's in denial He's in denial Didn't give an inch When I gave a mile Come on I gave a mile Gave a mile to who? Come on guys chill I'd be happy to die for a taste of what Angel had Someone to live for, unafraid to say I love you All your words are nice Mimi But love's not a three way street You'll never share real love Until you love yourself, I should know You all said you'd be cool today So please, for my sake I can't believe he's gone I can't believe you're going I can't believe this family must die Angel helped us believe in love I can't believe you disagree I can't believe this is goodbye I hear there are great restaurants out west Some of the best, how could she? How could you let her go? You just don't know How could we lose Angel? Maybe you'll see why when you stop escaping your pain At least now if you try, Angel's d**h won't be in vain His d**h is in vain Are you insane? There's so much to care about There's me, there's Mimi Mimi's got her baggage too So do you Who are you to tell me what I know What to do A friend But who, Mark, are you? Mark has got his work They say, "Mark lives for his work" And, "Mark's in love with his work" Mark hides in his work But from what? From facing your failure Facing your loneliness Facing the fact that you live a lie Yes, you live a lie, tell you why You're always preaching not to be numb When that's how you thrive You pretend to create and observe When you really detach from feeling alive Perhaps it's because I'm the one of us to survive Poor baby Mimi still loves Roger Is Roger really jealous Or afraid that Mimi's weak? Mimi did look pale Mimi's gotten thin Mimi's running out of time Roger's running out the door No more, oh no I've gotta go (Hey for somebody who's always been let down) (Who's heading out of town?) (For someone who longs for a community of his own) (Who's with his camera, alone?) I'll call, I hate the fall) You heard? Every word You don't want baggage without Lifetime guarantees You don't want to watch me die? I just came to say Goodbye love Goodbye love Came to say goodbye love, goodbye Just came to say glory Goodbye love, one blaze of Goodbye love glory Goodbye love Goodbye, have to find Please don't touch me Understand I'm scared I need to go away I know a place, a clinic A rehab? Maybe, could you? I'll pay Goodbye love Goodbye love Came to say goodbye love, goodbye Just came to say Goodbye love Goodbye love Goodbye love Hello, disease
