Verse 1:
|
At first I wrote it "dear you," then it turned,
|
"to whom it may concern."
|
I began it in this way because
|
I needed to express through these words,
|
How deeply I was hurt,
|
And how distant from you I now was.
|
I wrote "normally I would say
|
These words to your face,
|
But this time that I just can't do,
|
Cause I know the way you been movin'
|
And the things you been doin'
|
And right now I can't stand the sight of you."
|
|
Chorus:
|
So this is my goodbye
|
This means we are not together
|
This means that you're free,
|
See who you wanna' see, and me,
|
Well I know I can do better
|
So this is my goodbye
|
This makes it official, you've lost me forever
|
We are now the past, and it's kinda sad
|
That you had to read it in this letter
|
This is my goodbye
|
|
Verse 2:
|
By the time you finish this
|
I'll be gone for good, your lesson learned.
|
Where it is I'll be, and who's lovin' me,
|
Sorry baby, that's no longer your concern.
|
And tell your lil' friend she'll be in my prayers,
|
Cause just having to deal with you
|
Is enough to break your soul.
|
I just hope she knows exactly
|
What it is she's getting into.
|
|
Chorus:
|
So this is my goodbye
|
This means we are not together
|
This means that you're free,
|
See who you wanna' see, and me,
|
Well I know I can do better
|
So this is my goodbye
|
This makes it official, you've lost me forever
|
We are now in the past, and it's kinda' sad
|
That you had to read it in this letter
|
This is my goodbye
|
|
Bridge:
|
Not that it matters to you,
|
But I wrote this with clear and dry eyes.
|
The years of being mistreated by you,
|
I've cried all the tears I can cry.
|
So this is the end, done and over with.
|
Believe me when I say that you won't be missed.
|
No hug, no kiss, signed sincerely.
|
P.S. Forget you ever knew me.
|
|
Chorus:
|
This is my goodbye
|
This means we are not together
|
This means that you're free,
|
See who you wanna' see, and me,
|
Well I know I can do better
|
This is my goodbye
|
This makes it official, you've lost me forever
|
We are now in the past, and it's kinda sad
|
That you had to read it in this letter
