Goodbye
It's hard to imagine what goes on in your head
When you are not lying next to me in bed
Do you even care where I am or who is with me
Or maybe out of sight, out of mind, is your remedy
I wish I could close the door for good sometimes
Instead my stomach still drops at every doorbell ring chime
Hoping you show, praying you'll you stay
Wishing you'd choose me as you turn and walk away
But you don't seem to understand the pain you bring
Or how harsh your words are, or how keen they sting
You go through life leaving behind in your wake
A bitter sadness wrapped in crippling heartache
I wish you could see things, the way I see things
Like how your lies are addicting, and all the sickness they bring
You act like a victim so you can justify
And then wonder why I have to say goodbye
I wanted us to build a life
A fairy tale ending with me as your wife
But happily ever after is just for nursery rhymes
Never for me, at least not this time
Free to come and go as you please is how you act,
But then blame me and say I overreact
Tears drop as I pack up your things
Wondering what now my future will bring
You made hollow promises, but never kept your word
Your fragile fake words is all that I heard
Why did you have to keep coming back?
To rebreak my heart like a recurring heart attack
There is nothing I wanted as much as you
But time heals all, at least I hope that's true
I am left with no answers, no closure, and no you
One day you may realize what I already know to be true
Hindsight is 20/20 so I'm sure in time you will see
I could have made you happy
all you had to do was choose me.
