So I'm saying my final farewell here
     to all that I've known before
And maybe in the process I've shed
     a tear or two.
But goodbyes are never easy, you know.
Try not to be sad for me though, dear.
Because, in all honesty,
This is the most liberated I've ever been.
I'm saying goodbye to the past
     and all it stands for.
No "see ya later" here, for I never intend
     to come full circle.
This is a one-eighty, not a three-sixty
I'm turning it all around
And I'm sorry if you feel I've changed
     too drastically
But maybe the truth is you just
     never truly knew me.
