Adieu

I’m letting you go today and now

It’s sort of funny to wonder

Why I’ve held on to you

For so long,

 

I shouldn’t love you but sadly

For both you and me

I do,

 

I shouldn’t have let you treat me that way

Even when I knew it was wrong,

 

There are many things that I’d like to say

Before I part my way,

 

But these words are too special

To be wasted on deaf ears,

These feelings are too precious

To be wasted on a heart

That no longer knows how to love,

 

You would expect me to wish you misfortune

Because it is far easier to express revenge

Over a broken heart than it is

To try and fix it,

 

But my prayers for you

Envision you in success

Even today

And I also pray that someday

You will have enough wisdom

To understand why,

 

They say that every night ends at day break,

Well my day has arrived

And you are my night

That is now slowly fading away,

 

So live when you have the chance,

Love when you have the time

And if you should ever remember me,

Do so with a smile
