The Last Goodbye?

Could you just let me in?

Tell me what I did,

To make me feel,

Like I am full of sin?

 

Am I not living right?

Not being good all the time?

Am I really as awful,

As the person in your sight?

 

Did I say the wrong thing?

Hurt you at all?

See, I don't think I did

Yet I am blamed for everything.

 

And they'll all say,

I'm in the wrong.

They never liked me much,

But that never mattered, anyway.

 

It would appear though,

That it matters now,

Because I am the *****

The number one foe

 

I could just forget it,

and say, let it go

You don't desrve me,

Not one little bit

 

But contrary, to popular belief

I am a good person,

Deep down I am,

And I don't deserve grief

 

So just let me know,

What I can do,

To make it right

And stop all the woe

 

Or continue to erase me,

From your sweet life,

Just don't come crawling,

When you can see

 

See that you were wrong,

Because then it'll be too late,

My good nature,

Only lasts so long.

 

This may be goodbye,

This may just be it

I'll be sad to see you go

But perhaps it was all a lie.
