Bittersweet Goodbye


You let me in,

Or so I had thought

Always talking in riddles

Leaving me confused

Your mind is a maze

That I can't break through

 

You promised you'd be here,

That you'd be my rock,

Holding me steady

When I was lost

That you'd be my light

When I was in the dark

 

Instead, you played games,

Asking me to wait

How long do you wait 

Until you give up,

I think five years was enough,

What more could you want

 

You come and go,

Waltzing in and out

Killing me each time,

Leaving me with doubt

Was anything you said,

Was anything you did real

 

You broke my trust,

You broke my heart,

You ruined who I was,

Now I'm cold,

Even heartless

When it comes to love

 

I don't want to let anyone in

Here we go again,

You waltzing in and out

Don't you see what you're doing

Slowly tearing me down,

I can't do this anymore

 

It's tearing me apart

I'm putting up my walls,

Packing my bags,

Forgetting the memories,

Leaving this nothing town

I'm never looking back
