Good-Bye To You

I'm glad that I 

don't have you anymore

I used to wish you never came

to knock at my door

But I see now

that I had lessons to learn

Now if I ever need a fire

I have your letters I can burn

Oh, I guess one thing you taught me

was this

Is that there should be passion

behind every kiss

And if I wake up

in the middle of the night

I need someone there

to hold me tight

Oh, I need someone who cares

what I say

Not someone who shuts me out

just to get their own way

As for lessons

I'm up to three

I guess I'll never understand

why you never really saw me

The truth is

you never took the time to look

Because if you did you would've seen

that my heart is an open book

Now that I've said

my good-bye to you

It feels good that I've moved on

and I hope that you have, too
