An Overdue Goodbye

I met her in a haze

In my rebound phaze,

She caught me in a moment,

Then we spent so many days,

Just wasting time away,

Not time well spent,

I fell into her world

Alone with hatred's girl,

Just sort of went with it,

That plot that she had twirled,

Incircled me in curls,

And took me too quick,

There went the best days of my life,

She took them away while a sat and cried,

There went the best days of my life,

And I'm glad that I said goodbye,

We lived in crowded spaces,

Never in good places,

And she shot through threw me,

Smashed my guitar onto the floor

Turned it to pieces nothing more,

She nearly ruined me,

What she held inside

Is what kept me alive,

That inner beauty,

That thing I helped create,

For all of goodness sake,

I never knew she used me,

Cause she was worse than nothing to me,

More oppressive than the blackest empty room,

There was no love just the sound of her scream,

And the feelings of impending doom,

But forget that, it's time for the turnaround,

These are the best years of my life,

And I'm gonna live them,

While you sit and cry,

These are the best years of my life,

And I'm glad that I said goodbye
