A Simple So Long

Keeping you at arm’s length So I can regain some form of me Somehow I have to find the strength To get up off of my knees Always thought I was broken Never thought it could get worse But you laughed in my face and took my heart as a token When did you become so twisted and perverse? Sitting next to you kills me all over again You smugly think this is a game you've won You did not win Oh how you did lose Now you are all alone because with him she did choose. Tossed away like yesterday’s trash So long I’ve taken this from you Wanting you to be happy Not realizing what you intended to do I hope it was worth it all I hope she will always hear your call You never missed me until I was gone Well this time it is a final goodbye Not a simple so long.
