It's so sickening to see, that what I thought was sincerity, was a big fat bunch of lies. You made a vow, sealed a promise, you said you'd run for miles and miles. You said you'd love me, die for me, do it all for me, but I didn't know I was living in your house of lies. You must have thought I was naïve, just a silly little girl.. ..Huh, and I thought I was wise? No, I'm a fool, a fool for you, and yet, why do I still cry? You sly old fox, playing around with people's feelings, only aiming to get the prize. Why do you crush people's hearts and think of it as just a little joke? why do you watch the fire die in their eyes? When they place their heart, their everything, in your feet, why do you toss it away as if it's nothing, why do you lie? But I won't stoop so low, as to hate you and get revenge, I'll take you by surprise. I'll smile at you and treat you just like any other, because I don't want to be someone I don't like. But I won't let you get away with it, I won't just watch you plan your little trickery, I'll give you some advice. And when everything is said and done, making amends, with you trying to make a wrong, a right.. I'll go my way, dissappear from your life, with a simple, silent.. "goodbye"
