fond farewell

you were just another beautiful charm on my bracelet, and

you sparkled, and yeah, you shined...

you made my heart unwind, and the records slow...

you struck my fancy, and told me how it was...

but, you know we can't go back for beginnings,

and we can't just redo ends...

but there is more to this life than i'm dreaming of...

and i'll say my goodbyes, and you'll send me off with a bitter taste in my mouth...i wish you'd fill it with the taste of yours...

and i'll take pictures and you'll make poses in front of the places where we drew our history...

and it's selfish, i know, to want you all to myself...to want to be the everything, the only one you need

to make sense of it all, and to talk about why we're here, and if it really makes sense, then we'd laugh it off, and play the parts we were meant to play...

what's the point of living if you can't live this one time with a smile?

what's the point of dying if you don't have anything to show...or prove...or lose...?

by the noose of this air, and the knives on these people's faces...this city wants me dead, so i'm leavin'...

i hope you'll be there to say a fond farewell...
