Splitting Up

To anyone who's followed me
I offer my apologies
I'm splitting up
I can't afford to compromise
With someone I don't recognise
I'm splitting up
The idea first occurred to me
While shaving rather cautiously
Cos I bleed easily
My head is searating from my heart
I'm splitting up
The crocodiles will shed their tears
While other reptiles sneer and jeer
He's splitting up
The notices, lest we forget
Are posted on the internet
He's splitting up
I can't say I went out in style
My differences unreconciled
Embittered to the end
Neither moving nor affecting
All I'm doing is disconnecting
I'm splitting up
What's it all about?
Haven't got a clue
Only thing I know
It isn't down to you
To decide these things
Still you carry on
Still you scream and shout
I know that it's wrong
I haven't got the clout
To deride these things
But if my hearthad wings…
I'd fly away
To anyone who's followed me
I offer my apologies
I'm splitting up
I'm feeling down
I'm feeling down
I'm splitting up
I'm feeling down
I'm feeling down
I'm splitting up
