I made a decision today
to start my life anew.
I hope I won't regret it
because it does not include you.
Though we've been
through a lot my friend.
We thought that our love
would last to the end.
We were really doomed
from the start.
Our interests were
too far apart.
I tried to change
my ways for you,
but in doing so
I lost my soul, it's true.
Our lives engulfed
in disillusionment
each day
becoming less content.
The time has come
to cut the ties
for to stay
we'd be living with lies.
I know when I leave and
go on my way,
I'll cause you great pain
for which I'll pay.
But to stay and
pretend to love you dear
would bring about
my greatest fear.
To be a 'plastic person'
I could never be
for then I'd lose
the 'likes of me'.
Remember this,
no matter what others may say.
You'll be in my prayers
each and every day.
