Lyrics:
I drove up the hill just to say goodbye,
But all I found was a For Sale sign.
Put my hand on the gate and there’s tears in my eyes,
And all that’s been left since the minute you died,
Are the chandeliers in the trees and ceramic bees,
But now they’re just covered in leaves.
My hands are shaking as I type in the code.
The gate doesn’t open, just a voice that says, “no”.
But I know inside there’s a piece of your soul,
That they’re painting over and everything else will be sold.
And the piano that played on its own is not playing no more.
I wish that you had called somebody.
And if I wasn’t there, I’m sorry.
You made me believe you were strong.
I wish you had called me and told me that something was wrong.
So goodbye to my best friend ever.
I can’t believe you’re gone forever.
I came up to find you today,
Cause I finally found all the words that I needed to say.
But a dark thought got there first.
They buried your ashes in a Prozac pill,
And all the vultures came to chew on your will.
I hate that you’re gone and the questions you leave,
And it’s sad that your daughter’s not talking to me.
Well, I can’t draw a heart so I drew you a star on the Hollywood Boulevard.
I wish that you had called somebody.
And if I wasn’t there, I’m sorry.
You made me believe you were strong.
I wish you had called me and told me that something was wrong.
So goodbye to my best friend ever.
I can’t believe you’re gone forever.
I came up to find you today,
Cause I finally found all the words that I needed to say.
But a dark thought got there first.
I drove up the hill just to say goodbye,
But all I found was a For Sale sign.
Put my hand on the gate and there’s tears in my eyes,
And all that’s been left since the minute you died,
Are the chandeliers in the trees and ceramic bees,
But now they’re just covered in leaves.
Dear James, I hope you read this note. As always you have taken the words, the sense of loss, and the beautiful music and woven them into our hearts. The song is achingly sad and poignant. I’m such a proud member of your fan base. I bought the CD and also downloaded the deluxe version of the album. Your music makes me happy, yes even the sad songs. Emotion reminds us that we are human. Thank you so very much for sharing your gifts. Brenda, USA❤
He wrote this about Carrie Fisher, I had no idea until today. 😢
@@cstrattonjones Really?? I've heard that he wrote Courtney's song for her
@@mirevip just saw him explain it on tic toc

Te comoreendo! Passei 2 períodos pandemicos curtido suas músicas e foi uma luz no fim do túnel, achei que essa tem sua verdadeira essência, esperando ser original James Blubt, pois ainda aprecio originalidade'_♥️'🇧🇷🎧
One of the most talented pop songwriters of our time.
SURELY THE MOST UNDERATED ARTIST IN HISTORY. SONG AFTER SONG A SMASH HIT AND ALWAYS PULLS THE HEART STRINGS. . WHAT A TALENT.
GENIUS
I wish I could use this song to video of my daughters pictures ... she died in 2016, she was 21. Love you Chels.❤
For anyone struggling, you are loved by many and you are important. You are here, for a reason and I hope you find healing and happiness.
I know it is daunting but please, reach out to someone, even if it is a close friend. I hope everything goes well for you. I care and here if anyone, needs somebody to talk too.
There is no shame in getting help as we are only human. ❤❤
Wishing you all the best! ❤☺
So powerful!! Have lost too many friends to "dark thoughts"
We need to remind EVERYONE to reach out if they’re in a dark place.
I know how hard it is to reach out, but we all need to normalise asking for and accepting help.
It's a song dedicated to the late Carrie Fisher. He stated so in a radio interview with Chris Evans.
As a war veteran…it hits close to home for the 22 vets we loose everyday. Had they only called someone and had someone been there for them. Thank you
Lost my husband to suicide. This song has touched me so much. Thank you for writing such a beautiful song. The recording studio did a stellar job but that is down to you. Another wonderful James Blunt song 👏👏👏
Sending you blessings for the loss of your husband. 💟
So sorry for your loss. Sending love from a stranger. ❤
Sorry you lost your husband. Sending love and hugs .no words can replace .but you are not alone
RIP Carrie Fisher, thank you James, this was beautiful!
Carrie must be very proud of this wonderful song ... Thank you James, as always and forever...
As a fan of james since 2004 he never dissapointed...His music always touch my soul and my heart. Amazing album !

Listening to this song on the 1st anniversary of my grandmother's death. Very touching! 😢
This new album has been the most emotional one yet. Thank you for sharing your gift with us James.
My favorite ❤️
I love you so much James blunt
God bless you ❤
I'm Bonnie and I'm 8 years old. I live in Portland and I went to your concert in Bournemouth. I'm the one you waved at.
This song reminded me of my great granny. She was 93 and I miss her😢❤
Fantastic song & video, James! Cheers, MonaP from Germany
he is the best of his generation
Thank you James! This song hits home as my sister committed Suicide 2 years ago and she never asked for Help. She always showed how strong she was. She left behind her 2 beautiful kids and a husband. My brother and sister are just devastated. Thank you for this song! We all wish she would've reached out!❤😢
Showing some love ❤️ ❤❤❤❤❤
Can't believe he wrote this for Carrie Fisher. It's such a beautifully deep and emotionally moving song
Depression is real and has many faces. Most of which camouflage what's hidden. Few actually say it before they finish it. Most in severe pain don't warn anyone. That's the harsh reality. If you suspect it, follow up with it. Remember, love is all. A hug goes a long way. Hold of a hand matters, touch is hope. Strength can be a facade for a weary heart. See through the smile. Thank you. 🙏🏻💜
I’m very sad listening to this song today as my daughter birthday today but sadly she passed away last 2017.She is my daughter and my best friend.But thank you this song is a powerful song and the lyrics really great ❤❤
Everyone deserves kindness and happiness and everyone is amazing in there own right. ❤
James blunt is a light in the world welcome to the new world
Old James back again ❤❤🤩🤩
Lost my daddy back in 21 lost his 6 months before him passing get that felling when I go by there great song James

Great song and gets right to the heart! Looking forward to your tour in 2024, hopefully you come through the US.
My Dad lost a very close friend of his to suicide a week ago. He came to see you perform yesterday, and said that this song really hit home. Thank you.🙏
Mr. Blunt, please never stop being you and bringing us the most poignant words in your songs. I cry to some and feel lifted by others. I think I have purchased all of your music and I know one thing for sure, you make my heart smile and sing. You are the real deal, never knew another singer like you and as I am sixty eight, I want to be alive for more. Keep writing and singing so the world keeps spinning! ❤️🇨🇦☮️ 3:44
How moving 😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I work in mental health. So fitting for so many I have worked with in the past 115 years
Thank You Beautiful Precious Soul Angel Brother😇 You are Awesomeness🤙💖🕊️💖
James Blunt is back! ❤ Unglaubliches Album und Tour! Und emotionaler als jemals zuvor.
If anyone wondered if 'pop stars' are people with problems like everybody else, one only has to listen to a handful of James Blunt songs. ❤❤❤❤
It’s been 18 years since I lost my father to suicide when I was kid. This song in this particular moment of my life feels like more closure than I ever did get, thank you james.
OMG why'd you always drop such sad masterpiece. It hurts
Unconditional Love 💖 Blessings 🙏 Light 🌟 and Great Big

Sad lyrics but always we had left what to say or do to people and sadly many times it was too late to apologize.
I am looking forward to seeing you again on stage here in Cologne/Germany next year.
Amazing … blunt is the most expressive talented voice 2023
Amazing work as always. I’ve always loved your dark,deep but beautiful songs.
6 yrs ago in august I Iost my father to suicide ive never been served so many emotions and feelings I wasn't prepared to stomach at one time in my life, I was weak all over. He was truly my best friend. James you always have a way of conveying the message to those that need to hear it most. You have always been one of my top favorites if you ever come to pittsburgh, pa ill be there.
😢❤ SO many songs of loss with this new album. Thank you for sharing with us, and through this, to hopefully know folks aren't alone if anyone is struggling with dark thoughts of suicide.
Thank you Mr Blunt this is a beautiful song. I realise it is about your friend Carrie Fisher but it applies to so many out here.
My brother committed suicide in Nov 2003.
All my life well since about age 11. I have suffered with depression and other mental health issues. Dark thoughts are terrible in that moment you truly believe that nobody cares, no one will miss you and the black hole opens up and consumes you to the point you can't reach out, won't reach out because you are truly convinced nobody would care. If you are really lucky light will shine for a brief moment enough to bring you back and get help sadly for my brother that wasn't the case. For myself the two times dark thoughts/black hole over took me I did get that light and had the strength to briefy call for help and I am still here.
I just want you and people like you affected by this we didn't mean to hurt you we just genuinely believed in that moment nobody would care and I am sorry
JB,-brilliant! Lots of hugs ❤, Karita.
"A Dark Thought Did It's Worst."
😢
"We don't know what we have until it's gone" is true.
My sister ended her life without saying goodbye. I guess she couldn't. I guess a dark thought got there first. 😥 But we DID express a lot of love over the years.
Thanks for this lovely Lyric Video. It´s hard to realize to lose someone like this.
But music can heal what moves us so deeply. Thank you for the feeling that I am not alone in my grief. Big Hug for all of you, who still has to go through it.
Unreal man
Didn’t know about this song or connection between James and Carrie until I saw a video of him explaining the lyrics…just wanted to say I respect how long it took him to write this song wanting to do it and the effect the friendship justice. Beautifully simple song that speaks volumes
A ex Soldier of The British Army, a beautiful singer of the most beautiful songs thankyou James Blunt, and of cause The great one liners x
Great Song as always with so much passion. Greetings from Soest
I agree and i send greatings from Soest/NRW too
Reading the lyrics in the description section, they left out the line about 'a dark thought did its worst and that's what really hurts''. It is in the video and as I watched, listened and read the scrolling lyrics I realized how much power is in that single line.
❤❤❤
WAUW!❤
I have these dark thoughts, too. I have already tried to end my life several times. Listening to this song just made me cry.
Missdreamer, I don’t know what you are going through right now because you are the only one who knows the depth of your pain. I was in a very dark place and sui3idal years ago. I was tired of trying and couldn’t see a way out. I’m here today because of a voice in the backseat of my car yelled NO! I swerved away from the concrete pylon and when I got control of the car I parked on the side of the interstate and cried. I believe that was an angel. I called my doctor and got help for the first time. It was hard, but I faced my demons and took my life back. I still have a dark side, but I understand that it doesn’t have power over me unless I let it.
Please don’t give up. There are good things and people in this world that are worth fighting for. You are worth fighting for! Even if you can’t see the light, it is still there and you will find joy and love are real and you deserve to live your life with them. Please reach out for help, and do that over and over until you find your angel that will guide you through this difficult time.
I have faith in you. I’m praying for you too. I’m sending you love and strength from my heart to yours. ❤❤❤Brenda
Thoughts are just images in the mind if you can realise this I know it's hard you can be free God bless welcome to the new world
@@neilcusworth1764 Yes it's so hard, especially when your thoughts have a reason..when you find yourself in a horrible situation and nobody helps you to escape
@@missdreamer93 don't let fear or hope rule your life let go of yourself and be free forever it truly can happen welcome to the new world real love
God bless you miss dreamer be a light within your self
Beautiful music 👏👏👏❤️❤️
Dear God, I am sorry for whatever caused you to write this beautifully heartbreaking song, my love and peacw be with you. ❤😢
Thank you James Blunt
Anyone that knows has Depression & suicidal thoughts can relate to this. Hope that you will find the strength to reach out and talk to someone. You're not alone 💜💚💙
I’m a survivor of major depression and understand how hopeless it feels. I’m lucky because my attempt to self harm was stopped just in time. Please, whoever reads this, please don’t give up. Reach out to someone for help. I’m proof that you can survive this darkness and find light and hope again. I’m never going to be perfect, but I am whole, and you can be too. Sending love from my heart to your heart ❤️ ❤❤Brenda
Beautiful ❤❤❤

I don't believe in goodbyes. I like your songs 🎵 and I hope this goodbye is just temporary for the protagonists of your song .I am strong and I still believe my friend will see me again when I am ready❤I believe in your story will have a happy end
This song brings tears to my eyes, because it will be what they will say after I’m gone. Hate being depressed and darkness in my head.
Stay strong.

This song has touched my missis as she lost 2 teenage sons 16 and 15 yr old at the time 2 yrs 3 mouths 18 days apart off each other to suicide 😢😢
REST WELL CARRIE ❤
I know that inside, there’s a piece of your soul, that their painting over and everything else will be sold.
Wow.
Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT listen to the acoustic version 😭 This version is hard, but the acoustic is just so heartbreaking, so many feelings 💔
I know James probably smiles about the fact he is not seen as "cool" by some in the music business but his songs are some of the best ever written , he brings so much joy to millions of people and thats all that matters.
3 days ago was the birthday of one of my best friends, I miss her every day, I feel so so guilty of not being there for her when she needed me the most, I just can say I'm sorry, I wish to met you again, I love you, and I will miss you every day of my life...
Please guys, don't lose the contact of your best friends.
I only found James Blunt a year ago (a bit slow, I know). But now it's all I listen to.
