It's Not You Anymore

I've given up

Yes you heard me right

I'm not gonna be the one

To keep you up tonight



I've given up

No more stupid phone conversations

No more apologizes or insults

That were only made in fair retribution



I've given up

No more dreaming about you

No more wishing that you'd come back

I'll now never in my life allow that



I've given up

No more caring about what you do

No more waiting around for your mistakes

When your happiness ends up falling through



I've given up

No more will you see me again

Like you'd care if that's the case anyway

No more will ever a "hi" float by

Because not even "friends" include you and I



I've given up

No more annoyance from me

No more obnoxious creepiness now

Because you were too blind to see



That after the time that I had put in

I gave too much far too many times

For someone who'll remain as low

As the man you despise



I hope God understands

The person you're trying to be

Maybe a change will happen in you

Knowing not now but eventually



I've given up

I've closed this once-open door

I'm slamming it in your face

It's not you anymore

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Au revoir, Molly dearest.  You hold some of the best memories I have, but this time it's not about you.  You're getting what you wanted, and I'm gone for good.  Have fun with your life, and don't forget to send me a postcard.
