you were everything<\/p>\n
and nothing<\/p>\n
to me<\/p>\n
I had to let<\/p>\n
you go<\/p>\n
strings cut<\/p>\n
monkey<\/p>\n
off my back<\/p>\n
for the last<\/p>\n
time<\/p>\n
said I to myself<\/p>\n
46 times before<\/p>\n
what made<\/p>\n
this time<\/p>\n
so different<\/p>\n
I am different<\/p>\n
I am better<\/p>\n
without the<\/p>\n
pretenses<\/p>\n
the process<\/p>\n
undo because<\/p>\n
your heart is ill<\/p>\n
prepared to<\/p>\n
love my heart<\/p>\n
permanently<\/p>\n
problem is<\/p>\n
I was willing to<\/p>\n
wait around<\/p>\n
count the sheep<\/p>\n
watch you hide<\/p>\n
and I’d seek<\/p>\n
but your<\/p>\n
heart is not<\/p>\n
to be found<\/p>\n
and I dropped<\/p>\n
mine on the<\/p>\n
ground for you<\/p>\n
for you<\/p>\n
I was torment<\/p>\n
and lament<\/p>\n
of blue<\/p>\n
dreams reoccured<\/p>\n
and the \u00a0missing<\/p>\n
piece was<\/p>\n
complete without<\/p>\n
you<\/p>\n
so this is the<\/p>\n
end the final<\/p>\n
show<\/p>\n
the last goodbye<\/p>\n
the i told me so<\/p>\n
again<\/p>\n
all is not fair<\/p>\n
in love<\/p>\n
but this wasn’t<\/p>\n
love, was it.<\/p>\n
only fools rush in<\/p>\n
I say only fools<\/p>\n
stay<\/p>\n
so goodbye<\/p>\n
farewell<\/p>\n
see you never<\/p>\n
is the better<\/p>\n
way<\/p>\n
wish you well<\/p>\n
on the other<\/p>\n
side of the street<\/p>\n
the way we<\/p>\n
don’t kiss<\/p>\n
and say goodbye<\/p>\n
is now loading<\/p>\n
and the load<\/p>\n
up is complete.<\/p>\n
