It's goodbye

(Lyrics to a song written many years ago but still apropos.)

You were saying that you knew my mind, that it’s special
The two of us knew better than them all.
Such an old line but I’d spend all my time
Listening to you lie.
I didn’t see the storm brewing,
I forgot you were only human
And I missed that you were screwing up my life.

You say you’re just the other side of the coin, I flipped it over.
The counterfeit is plain to see after all.
You were only faking, making like you knew me well,
But the things you did would show me
That you really didn’t know me
And your flattery was fogging up my mind

So if my leaving leaves you feeling bad, take a lesson.
What you're missing isn’t true, not at all.
It was just a play, only ran a day
And folded out of town,
And I know that you’ll forget me
As I am today so let me
Take my leave and don't upset me,
It’s goodbye.
