Guess Not

I guess goodbye is another hello to you
I express my emotions to you, what's new
I suppose you want to see me break 
I expose my errors and flaws for your sake

I am not made of perfection
If I was, I wouldn't be here
I am not always walking your direction
If I was, I wouldn't have my inner cheer

Hi, I guess you're going to leave so soon
Bye, go ahead and be gone this afternoon 
I won't miss you for long
Maybe, I am just plain wrong

Hoping something bad isn't going to happen
I let out my furious lions from the darksome den
Moping around won't do me any good
You'd understand, being misunderstood

I knew you would...
I know you should...
Hon, I bet I could...
I knew you would...
I know you should...
Dear, I bet I could...
Do more harm than good 

Go...
If you want to go!
Know...
That I still love you so

But, obviously, 
You don't care
Well, possibly,
So do I if I dare

I guess goodbye is another form of hello
I am a mess and yet, you stay pretty mellow
I best be away from you and you can do the same
Because I don't want to be the one to take the blame 

I also don't want to hurt you anymore
It's as if you want to fight me some more
I had enough with this horrible war
Loving you is like completing a year-long chore

Bye...
We both depart for now on
Hi...
To another wish I wish upon

Hope you all the well 
In your journey of farewell
Are you still living your heavenly hell?
Can't you tell you're under a wicked spell!?

Um...guess not!
