So Long, Lucinda

So Long, Lucinda Cut you off once again This time it’s for good my friend Not another chance Not another dance, pulling my strings The scissors left blisters that will heal But they were never really real Not taking it back this time Only guilty of an innocent crime So I’ll wear your suit of hearsay Moving’s a chore with fit that’s so poor But I’ll have no problem walking away The light of truth will break your youth But I will be forever Young Could hurt myself again, just to get back at you But that won’t do Besides, I made a promise to myself Pain isn’t good for health So I’ll heal a broken heart with art So long, Lucinda Thought you were my friend Won’t stick around this time To let you do me wrong again It hurts so much to say It has to be this way But choosing heartbreak over insanity Is just a small Price to pay…
