I don’t really know you
I just can’t see,
I’ll never forget
Who I don’t wanna be.
Im feeling betrayed
So down and so blue
Thought I had a friend
But I only had you
You’re just so cold
your hope’s in the past
I’m gonna go now
You’d better think fast
I cast a glare at you
My hand reaches the door
I start to walk…
You gaze to the floor
“don’t, please stop”
Rings in my ears
I say that I can’t
As my eyes fill with tears
“I know you still love me”
One drop hits the floor
“you know that I can’t”
(my heart is so sore)
“I need to fly”
(My heart has to mend)
“No, please—I’ll change”
(all I wanted was a friend)
“Goodbye so long-
I must fade away”
“Just one more chance…”
(But I won’t stay)
“You’re not what I need”
(You’ve lied to me….)
“fine! I give up—Godspeed”
I turn and walk
I never really knew you
I just couldn’t see,
But I’ll never forget
Who I don’t wanna be
