Separate Ways

Hey you, just listen to me.
I'll tell you what I want from you.
It's what's inside that you can't see.
Perfections you seek, but there are few.

You hold all my secrets inside;
Is that not enough for you?

What's the deal with this?
I give you all of me,
But all you do is hiss.
It's time to set me free.

Just let go of my hand;
Please forget my face.

You go on your way,
I'll lead the life of my own.
There's nothing left to say;
I just want you to leave me alone.
