I'Ll Get Over You... Watch Me!!!

Why the pretence? You don’t really care, you never did… The words I love you dollop from your mouth so convincingly… A lie detector test would believe you, I’m letting go… tired of looking over my shoulder anticipating the knife, I can feel your eyes on me as I walk away… Please don’t cry save your falsities for someone who cares… We had our time its time to move on separation, is part of healing, We will both be happy once you let go I’m ready to start anew… with no regrets so let me go…
