Goodbye To Love

Three sheets to the wind
and again i hear your name
rings out in the night
like the anger and the blame
bottled up inside
just waiting to explode
feelings so frantic
maybe this time they'll implode.

Can't get past
all the anger and pain
Washing right over me
Like a torrent of icy rain
It breaks the skin
It scars me so deep
maybe tomorrow
I'll finally get some sleep.

You think that I don't notice
you think that i don't care
you think this game that you keep playing
is only right and fair
but those days that you don't come home to me
those days I lay here and cry
On those days and many others
i think perhaps it all was a lie.

So breaking me down
Forgetting about the past
you throw it all away
like an empty broken glass
and you let it slip through the cracks
and you let it become obsolete
but the scars they won't heal
and you'll still get no sleep.

You'll remember me tomorrow
the next day and for life
the way you said goodbye to me
you let go of your only wife.
Wasn't i the creature
to whom you said I do?
Wasn't I your lover?
Wasn't any of it true?

Goodbye my lovely,
Goodbye my friend
Goodbye to our forever
Goodbye is the end.
Walking out the door today,
Walking out for life.
Goodbye and goodnight,
Love, Your Ex Wife.
