You said see you later
but all I heard was goodbye
I let myself cry every night
I was scared to leave for school
Fear of crying in front of someone you've just met

Everyone was rooting for us
and you let me leave
You let me let go
You let me move on

I tried to find someone to replace you
a new best friend
a new lover

I wound up with fake smiles
unknown names
a pregnancy scare

I was fake
I wasn't real
I was used

I was the girl i used to be
I was the worst version of me

I can't let you back in
because you don't want this version of me
You don't want fake
You don't want unreal
You don't want used

You want me back now
but you don't know me like this
You wouldn't want this

So now I have to say goodbye
because I care about you enough to know you deserve more than this
because I love you
if only you wouldn't have said see you later
this wouldn't be *goodbye
