Goodbye
I can't stand that I'm a cause for pain
Because of the life that I pursue
But I no longer think love's possible
With no exchange from anyone, from you
I'll always think of all I've left
The ones, deep down, that I'll always miss
But I know that time will make it easier
You'll hardly think of me, except at times you'll reminisce
And the cut used to feel deeper
The hurt used to be unbearable
It's different now, at least I pretend it is
And the pain isn't so terrible
It sucks, but I know you'll be okay
If comfort I can find despite the isolation
With all you have (which I dont)
You have the best of the situation
I can't stand to be a cause for pain
But over this I'll no longer fret
I'll take comfort in this reality:
Like the rest, you too will forget
