Goodbye Lovers & Friends

Don’t play pop music

You know I hate pop music

Just sing amazing godless grace

Don’t wear bright colours

You know I hate bright colours

I never liked you for the way you dressed

Anyway

Goodbye lovers and friends

So sad to leave you

When they lie and say

“This is not the end”

you can laugh as if

we’re still together

you can laugh about it all

I hope you didn’t bring flowers

Hope you didn’t write a poem

Hope you remember every fight

I know I could be noxious

Or occasionally cruel

But only to the ones

I loved

Goodbye lovers and friends…

Don’t get inventory

Don’t fake your memory

Don’t give me virtues that I never had

Don’t get sychophantal

We never were sentimental

I know I took more than I ever gave

I don’t need to be forgiven

But a moment from the living

That’s the only thing I ask

Goodbye lovers and friends…

…you can laugh as if

we’re still together

but this really is the end
