You won’t see me anymore

I won’t come back to your door

again 

There’s someone in your bed

but I’m at home instead

of there

This is not 

how I thought 

this would end

Please don’t call here any more

I’m stuck on the floor on

the floor

This is my last my last goodbye

You won’t hear me when I cry

at night

you may sing this melody

you’ll sing but I’ll be free

of this
