Goodbye Love Lyrics

Goodbye Love lyrics

MIMI
It's true you sold your guitar and bought a car?
ROGER
It's true - I'm leave now for Santa Fe
It's true you're with this yuppie scum?
BENNY
You said you'd never speak to him again
MIMI
Not now
MAUREEN
Who said that you have any say in who she says things to at all?
ROGER
Yeah!
JOANNE
Who said that you should stick your nose in other people's. . .
MAUREEN
Who said I was talking to you?
JOANNE                                                        MARK
We used to have this fight each night            Calm down
She'd never admit I existed                            Everyone please
MIMI
He was the same way -
He was always "Run away - Hit the road-
Don't commit" -
You're full of shit
JOANNE
She's in denial
MIMI
He's in denial
JOANNE
Didn't give an inch
When I gave a mile
MARK
Come on
MIMI
I gave a mile
ROGER
Gave a mile to who?
MARK & BENNY
Come on guys chill!
MIMI & JOANNE
I'd be happy to die for a taste of what Angel had
Someone to live for - unafraid to say I love you
ROGER
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
COLLINS
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
ALL
I can't believe this is goodbye
MARK
I hear there are great restaurants out west
ROGER
Some of the best.  How could she?
MARK
How could you let her go?
ROGER
You just don't know. . .
How could we lose Angel?
MARK
Maybe you'll see why when you stop escaping your pain
At least now if you try - Angel's death won't be in vain
ROGER
His death is in vain
MARK
Are you insane?
There's so much to care about
There's me - There's Mimi -
ROGER
Mimi's got her baggage too
MARK
So do you
ROGER
Who are you to tell me what I know
What to do
MARK
A friend
ROGER
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
MARK
But from what?
ROGER
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
MARK
Perhaps it' because I'm the one of us to survive
ROGER
Poor baby
MARK
Mimi still loves Roger
Is Roger really jealous
Or afraid that Mimi's weak
ROGER
Mimi did look pale
MARK
Mimi's gotten thin
Mimi's running out of time
Roger's running out the door--
ROGER
No more!  Oh no!
I've gotta go
MARK
(Hey for somebody who's always been let down
Who's heading out of town?)*
ROGER
(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?
MIMI
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
MIMI                                  ROGER
Just came to say                Glory
Goodbye love                    One blaze of
Goodbye love                    Glory
Goodbye love
Goodbye!                           Have to find
MIMI
Please don't touch me
Understand
I'm scared
I need to go away
MARK
I know a place - a clinic
BENNY
A rehab?
MIMI
Maybe-- could you?
BENNY
I'll pay
MIMI
Goodbye love
Goodbye love
Came to say goodbye love, goodbye
Just came to say
Goodbye love
Goodbye love
Goodbye love
Hello - disease
