Goodbye Again

I see your bags are packed and your ready to go

I know you need to leave so I'll open the door

You've walked on my heart one last time

So with a smile I forget all your sweet little rhymes



I loved you- you threw it away

When I saw you with her just the other day

I told you time and time again

I refuse to let you be that kind of man



You're not going to break me

and I know you wish you were letting me free

But my how nice it is to be on this side?

With me not caring how you feel inside



You tore me to pieces the first, second and third time

when I caught you committing your little *love* crimes

But you lied and waltzed back into my heart

and mended back the pieces that had broken apart



You must've did something wrong

You mended my heart back together and made me strong

Now I can watch you leave me with a smile

and know that I can make that last mile



Sure it takes me awhile to learn

and I know I need the fire within me to burn

Sure I can look back at this and maybe I'll weep

but I know I can make it through tonight without losing sleep
