Goodbye

Is this a compromise for all the arguments we had?

How long do you plan on living in separate rooms?

I’m still close to you, but that isn’t such a good thing

I’m getting used to holding myself every night

Do you honestly think I need you to function now?

See, I can wake up without your critical stare

I’m okay going through the day, every minute alone

Actually, I have my friends and it’s a shame I didn’t stay with the best of those

I don’t know you anymore

We’re two strangers trying to open the same door

But let’s admit it, there’s no point to try

I used to want to say I love you, but now I just want to say goodbye

It’s quiet while we both stand here in our place

Don’t expect me to speak, I have nothing to say

Not after your yelling and insults and unquenched demands

No matter how much I tried to get you to understand

Are you really going to blame this tension on me?

I’m not conceited enough to say I’m not partially at fault

But accept it, our fingers don’t interlock comfortably

It was so long ago when you actually made love to me

I don’t know you anymore

We’re two strangers trying to open the same door

But let’s admit it, there’s no point to try

I used to want to say I love you, but now I just want to say goodbye

Oh, I’ll still think about you

Or at least about the good times we had

But I’m determined to move on

To smile after a long time, to feel good because you’re gone

You’ll just be somebody that I met sometime before

I don’t know you anymore

We’re two strangers trying to open the same door

But let’s admit it, there’s no point to try

I used to want to say I love you, but I just want to say goodbye

I used to say I love you, but now all I’ll say is goodbye
