How do I say goodbye...

Again?

It was hard the first time
To face the fear of losing you
Kicking, screaming, crying, dying
The hardest thing I ever did
Was to get over you
And now I have to do it…
Again?

How can you drag me back
To what was joy, now shattered by lies?
My life in thousands of pieces
I picked them up, one by one
And meticulously glued them together
Hoping this time I would be stronger
I could be stronger

And now you hand me a hammer
And ask me to smash myself into oblivion
So that you can feel safe and secure
In your fantasy world
Where we are together and
No one ever says
Goodbye

It might be nice to live in a world of dreams
Where the sun shines and rain doesn't fall
And lies and truth are one and the same
But I can't stay; this isn't real
The world is shades of gray
And somewhere I will find the strength
To carry on my way

But first, tell me
How do I say goodbye to you…
Again?
