Good-Bye
You say that you miss me
 You say that you want me
 You say that you love me
 And you don’t want to lose me
 
 You make so much sense 
 when you say you don’t want to go back out.
 You don’t want to ruin us.
 But that’s just not enough.
 
 You love that you have me
 right there next to you.
 I’m like your spare key.
 Oh, if only you knew. 
 
 I sit there in your pocket
 safe, sound, and secure.
 Waiting to be used
 when no one is there.
 
 When your completely alone
 or your scared and afraid
 you’ll get me out to comfort you.
 To you that’s why I was made.  
 
 I’m there when you need me.
 When you have no one there. 
 I’m there when your confidence is stolen
 and it needs a repair. 
 
 But when your surrounded by people
 who think your so great. 
 When your self-esteem is soaring 
 I’m no longer your soul mate. 
 
 You no longer see me. 
 Even if I’m standing right there. 
 You no longer need me. 
 And you no longer care. 
 
 I get pushed back in your pocket.
 And you forget that I’m there.
 You have other people
 to whom I just don’t compare. 
 
 Now you can’t hear me
 as I scream and I shout. 
 I don’t care if you see me.
 I just want to get out. 
 
 And when I’m standing alone
 by myself or in a crowd.
 Silently screaming for your rescue.
 But you don’t listen 
 and I’m just not that loud. 
 
 Your never there when I need you. 
 Your too busy with people 
 who know you so well. 
 And you don’t care to see me 
 unless your going through hell. 
 
 I understand that your using 
 all the time you still hold 
 and spending it with those 
 who have things to unfold.
 
 You know me the best
 There’s no mystery there.
 I’m no longer interesting. 
 I have nothing left to share.
 
 I know that your leaving.
 And you’ve said it before. 
 That you love me so much
 Yet I’m the one you ignore? 
 
 I just don’t understand it
 and I’m sure you don’t see
 so I’m sure you cant explain it
 because you’d only disagree.
 
 But I’m so sick of the sometimes.
 The words and the lies.
 So sick of your actions
 based on how many eyes. 
 
 Whether you see me or not
 I no longer care
 I just want you to leave 
 I have no preference where. 
 
 Just go someplace else.
 And please let me be.
 I just want to get out 
 of the grasp you still hold on me.  
 
 I no longer want to wait
 for you to save my day.
 Even if you cared
 your too late either way. 
 
 So I’m moving on
 and I’m sure you will too.
 So here’s my good-bye  
 I know its long overdue.
