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. - Hudba
RIP Carrie, such a beautiful tribute to her.
I’m so sorry to everyone who lost there best friend. Love your music James. ❤️
My husband & Dad both passed last Tuesday...... Can't wrap my head around it
My best friend for 30 years died a couple of months ago. Also, a very dear friend was killed in a car accident, and I am just trying to cone to terms of the losses.
Jesus Hernandez, Jr. Garryowen!!
Stay strong. Spend some time with friends and heal. My partner passed away in 2022. She was only 27 and was diagnosed with late stage cancer only a month prior. It doesn’t stop hurting but you will be happy again I promise.
My husband passed away beside me in january23 after looking after him for four years on my own.
No one’s gone forever. Someday you’ll meet again and pain will turn into celebration ❤
One of the best songs you've ever done! RIP Carrie.
Best one ever.
It seems your most penetrating songs come from darkness. The empathy contained within you to feel the world that way must be heart rending. You are truly special, James Blunt.
Cantar a realidade com sentimentos tristes, não significa trevas, escuridão? Más,verdadeiros sentimentos da alma,do coração,Trevas significa escuridão ,no máximo ele expressa lastimar,tristeza por acontecimentos vividos,adoro a expressão de realidades com a junção de vivências(I'm love this músics!)'_'♥️🇧🇷✌🏼🎧
To our friends. Rest in peace Carrie fisher
Wow, first time I've heard this. Such a powerful song 🎵 James, you're an amazing musician ❤️
This song is so addicting! I have listened to it so many times. I just discovered James Blunt about a year ago. I don’t like all his songs, but the ones I I do like touch me DEEPLY. The words, tunes and his voice are amazing!
James blunt beautiful voice
I agree
I had to stop this in the middle of the song, Goosebumps from my head to my toes, I thought of my best friend last night, who I could not find a month before it was to late, after soaking up the liquid from my eyes and continued the song, you rock buddy
A story cut from real life. So many people leave because we think everything is fine. We think it's ok because we want to think that way so as not to get involved in other people's problems. Sometimes, behind the smile and the words "it's great", there is pain, suffering and dark thoughts. Only after death do we ask questions that will never be answered. Sometimes it's enough to hold your hand, let each other talk, or just be silent together. The words "you can count on me" are only words if they are not backed up by actions. Let this song be an inspiration to others. If it saves even one life, it's worth it.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
RIP Matthew Perry
Thank you ❤ essential and crucial wisdom here

I´m so grateful for God for made this man
Sir James blunt its gone be ok its my favourite songs sir
Still aging like fine wine. The voice is still beautiful and full of emotions. Cheers!
Totally... gets a lot of stick on social media. So glad he fights back with his quirky comments. Just hope it doesn't really bother him
Hello Friends, a Great Friday and Excellent Weekend to All. A Hug from Portugal.... 🙏🙏💝💝🇵🇹
A wonderful tribute to Carrie Fisher 🩷
As a teenager lucky enough to have grown up in the 70's, loving lyrics and an eclectic taste in music, I was an ardent David Bowie fan. The lyrics in all of these songs are not only intelligently put together with wonderful melodies, they are evocative and emotive. Truly wonderful, thank you for bringing me back to this kind of music.
Incredible stuff. You never fail to produce Blunty. Hope Carrie can hear it up there.
This gave me tingles, when a song touches the soul like James blunt can, he enters your soul and says remember me don't forget me, I absolutely love his music and voice, the man is a legend before his time
The emotion in your voice and on your face is so raw, so beautiful. RIP Carrie 😢

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

'Cause I finally found all the words that I needed to say
But a dark thought got there first
Dark thought did its worst
And that's what really hurts
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
My best friend had moved far away from where we lived to start a new awesome job. I talked with her all the time by phone. In March, she called, saying she was so tired. She complained about being hungry all the time. She said she was eating enough but had no strength. She had an eating disorder and a bad craving for sugar. I told her to ask her doctor how to stop the sugar cravings. She would start making excuses for not eating healthier. Early March, she called, and she sounded very frail. I was very worried. I was not happy when she started back eating sweets and unhealthy foods. After my last call in March, the phone was answered with " The number you have reached is not in service...". I called a mutual friend who told me she died, alone, at home. I was across the country from her. I wish she had been closer. I miss her.
every song is a masterpiece!!!
When i first heard this song I thought it was about Ex-force personnel with PTSD, But now know its about Carrie fisher. He is a fantastic song writer and vastly under rated in my humble opinion.
Omg, this one breaks anyone 😢 what an amazing song 🥹
as a person with these thoughts this song hurts too much...
You are a great Artist and the new album is another diamond. Thank you for your music!!!
♥
The saddest one on the new album 😭 RIP Carrie 🖤
You are such a blessing and have such an incredible talent to move people. I've been unfortunate enough to lose three parents and a good friend to those dark thoughts and that haunts me every day at 20 years old. Grieving is its own process, but as soon as things get easier there's just something new to grieve about. This is exactly what I needed to hear on probably one of my roughest days since my dad's in July. Thank you a ton. This is beautifully written.
Sorry for all your loss, be strong 💪 the storm always passes, if it comes back again just know that it’ll pass as well. I’ve lost my mother when I was 11, can’t imagine what you must be going through, wish you the best!
Van "No Bravery", en "Time of our Lives" door naar "Dark Thought", en alles wat daar tussen zit en daarna nog komt, de mens is een ras-muzikant.
En als een man op leeftijd hoop ik dat in een "hiernamaals" nog van kan genieten.
Very beautiful song ♥️ Thank you ♥️ my dear James absolutely TOP TOP TOP ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐♥️ and absolutely 💎 diamond singer musician ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😘
This is a beautiful song for a beautiful woman & thank you for putting it out, for all of us to love it 💖🎼🎵🎶
Today is my Dad's 25th anniversary, 27/101998, and I still miss my Da,(Oliver) it's like that Cardbury add, LOVE YOU DA.
Merci pour tout ce que tu nous apportes James.
Rendez-vous en février prochain pour ton concert en France ❤.
This song is a piece of art, showing us the real value of a friend, and I lost, for so many reasons, some of my best ever.

If we live much time at all, emptiness follows fullness until wisdom steps in and names itself: love.
Ta sama niepowtarzalna barwa głosu...

Message in tune cuts like a knife, either it hits a home or hits the emphatic nature of human existence! Both ways pierced
😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Pensamento😊❤
Life is so precious and short xx
Yes you are so right 🎸 what city are you from ?
Thoughts are now running through my head. Were ever they will end up I don't know yet. 🤔
You make it sure how to tease that part of heart🥺❤️
Dear Mr. Blunt,
Absolutely loved this song! I’ve been listening to your album non stop and this one is my favourite (I love them all)! This one got me out of bed because I told myself I won’t let the dark thoughts win today. ❤️ thank you!
Also I don’t know why, but I believe this song is about Carrie and I love it! ❤
Dear Jehovah God! This man is gifted!
Miss the old JB music. Ballads are his best
Way to go James! Soul, passion, and amazing work!
God bless you james not long now welcome to the new world
Cool so awesome voice beautiful ❤️😍
Tear up so much😢 A very sad and beautiful song.
Oh James Blunt. Another great powerful song. Great lyrics and a lot of meaning in there. Pure genius.
Beautiful lyrics.
The force is strong on this one. Even Princess Leia would be proud
Nice tune piano 🎹 sounds great 🎶🎵🎼💯
Oh so emotional and really relatable to me. Sat here and I'm crying 😢 1st listen too. Thanks for your music James xxx❤❤❤
Masterpiece!!!!
James, this hit me really hard. My dad had cancer and fought it for ten years. He wasn't present when i grew up and we found a relation just a couple of years before he passed. Our contact was sporadic and hard, and one time he called to ask to borrow a few dollars and i couldn't because i had none but portrayed myself as having a stable life.
So i said no and we had a fight. A few weeks later he ended up in a hospital on his death bed, he has starved himself to death. And i can't forgive myself for that... The fight we had pierced his heart so badly that he finally gave up and let the cancer take him.
I have trouble living with it.
Parents are not supposed to borrow money from their children. Fathers who choose to not be involved in the lives of the children they create, who lent no support in their youth, especially have no right to ask for money or anything else from their children.
Don’t feel bad about such a selfish person. He was fortunate to know you at all, having missed the endless love you had to give when you were a child.
I’m sorry you are grieving.It’s a process all children must eventually experience, but please don’t waste any more of your energy than you have to on him. You deserve to surround yourself with supportive, loving, and kind people. They will enrich your life, just as you enrich theirs. Kind regards.❤
Heartbreaking. Sharing your grief :(
I miss my uncle he was a father figure to me & died of a heart attack due to a blood clot didn’t take his medication & this song makes me cry as I wish he’d called me
I feel I wasn’t their
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Escuro pensamentos vc consegue exergar😊😊
I listened to an interview where you said you scrolled through the good comments and centered on the nasty ones...So your music is shit!
Have I got your attention? If so ignore that. Your music speaks to my soul. Your stories of life visiting the house and seeing a "celeb house tour" bus and pointing you out as a fan is meaningful. Love your music and never change.🥀⭐⭐⭐⭐
Jossy ❤it’s worth the listen 🎧 though you are no more.. rest well cousin 😢..
Thanks for singing true stories
Like the song. You do know how to tug at the heartstring with powerful songs.
This song speaks so much about my life. Hard to keep going on… I don’t want to be here 😢
They way You. Sing is so touching. My dream is to sing with You befor i die💙🎶
Courtney's Song re-imagined. After time to think and being more direct. The things that grief takes us through. A true friend holds us, even while we shake them and say WHY
Such a sad heart breaking song 😢😢😢😢
Як завжди неперевершено, лірично, емоційно.
Wooh ur blunting mi mind whenever I listen to dis song
Melhor do mundo
I love you James Blunt♥️♥️
Another beautiful yet heartbreaking song from my favourite songbird who always manages to capture real life and make it all a little better. Thank you so much James, you have no idea how much I love you and your music ❤
😢sad toutes mes condoléances courage we no always there for the people with love
Truly a beautiful Eulogy ❤
Goes Deep 😢
Você é sempre maravilhoso eu te amo infinito ❤❤
🌹❤❤❤🌹
James if your plan is to wreck our hearts out, it's working... I swear I am still recovering from 'girl that never was' 😭😭😭
