Good Bye

I was pre-occupied, half asleep,
It too me a while to discover, I was in too deep,
I never planned it, for me it was a fall,
It's a painful way down, to nothing at all,

I’ve lost count of the times that I’ve given up on you,
And all the promises you made to get me back to you,
So I put my keys in the car, but it wouldn’t drive,
I sat with my hands on the wheel, looking barely alive,
I know I’m not an angel, but don't think that I won't try,
I know I'm not an angel, but that doesn’t mean that I won't fly,

For Freedom comes when you learn to let go,
Happiness comes to those who learn to say no,
You were my lesson, I had to learn,
I touched fire, I had to burn,

For every mistake, I’ll have to pay,
I’ve come to work, I’ve come to play,
Now I need to find another way,
I’ve had the courage to break away,
I’ve learnt how to say goodbye,
Now I yearn to say goodbye!
