From The Mind Of A Writer

Goodbye

 *

It hurts me to say this,

But someone’s got to say it soon

This just isn’t working out,

The way I pictured it would.

 *

We’ve been friends a while now,

And babe, all you do is bring me down.

I have to say,

It’s been a miracle we’ve lasted this long.

 *

But it’s time for us to say goodbye,

It isn’t going to work out this time

I can’t handle this stress anymore.

 *

I was hoping I wouldn’t have to say this,

But when I’m with you, all I want to do is cry.

Four years I’ve put up with your bullshit and lies,

Four years I’ve given you a shoulder to cry on,

And still all you call me for is to complain.

 *

Goodbye, it’s time I get on with my life

It’s too late to make it right

Goodbye, please don’t even try

I just want to move on with my life.

 *

I should’ve known this wouldn’t last,

First Noelle quit writing to me

Then you wouldn’t pick up the phone

Then six months later you call me
And expect everything to be okay?

But it isn’t. I’ve moved on.

I’m sick of the excuses

I didn’t want to have to say this,

But you’ve given me no other choice.

 *

Goodbye, it’s time to say goodbye.

It’s time we get on with our lives.

I didn’t want to have to say this,

But someone has to.

Goodbye.
