No more Pain
You say it was a clumsy effort 
 and that I didn't try, but
 baby, you and I both 
 know that's a lie.
 
 'Cause all I did was try, try, try.
 
 And maybe, it was a little too much 
 or much too late
 but I'm still here darlin', 
 clinging to the remains 
 of a relationship
 that never really was
 and pretending 
 I can still salvage 
 a partnership of one.
 
 But all you did was lie, lie, lie.
 
 Baby, tell me, why?
 You say it's over 
 and I don't know
 whether to fly 
 away or stay within
 the confines of 
 the ripped-off cocoon
 I spun hopin' to become
 a butterfly.
 
 In the end, all I did was cry, cry, cry.
 
 Oh, I'm much too young for
 painless goodbyes
 but it was easy for you to
 waltz out of my life
 like we were nothing more
 than a playful liason
 in the backseat of a car
 on a drunken night.
 And now I'll dive
 into this endless sea
 of sick, sweet hellos,
 first meeting of the eyes,
 kisstouchtastefightcry.
 
 (But maybe, we never were
 Maybe, it was just me
 clinging on to some
 old, fading dream.
 
 Hallucination.
 Desperation.
 Suicide ideation.)
 
 Goodbye, goodbye.
