Late Goodbye is a song by Finnish rock band Poets of the Fall. The song appears in the 2003 video game Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne as well as on the 2005 album Signs of Life. It was also the first single released from the album.

Late Goodbye is based on a poem written by Sam Lake (written about a dream he had), writer for the Max Payne series of games.

The song can be heard by the player at various times during the game:

It is overheard playing through the headphones of the janitor cleaning the basement of Max's apartment. He also sings and hums along to the lyrics.
It is played by a Cleaner on a piano in a room in the apartments where several Inner Circle members live.
Another Cleaner whistles the song, provided that the player does not attack him.
Mona Sax sings it in the shower at her flat at the closed-down Address Unknown amusement park.
