Goodbye

I release you from the promises you made
I release you now, because too little and too late

I release you from all the things you cannot give
Sadly, that includes a friendship... That you just cannot live

I believed you, when you said that you mean well
And I still believe that your heart is in the "right" place

I believe that you think of yourself as "more"
And it breaks my heart to see just another mainstream whore

It was my mistake to foolishly expect
You and I could share what, it turned out, you do not have

I was blinded by the ideal of strength and truth
But it was really all myself projected onto you

I wish you happiness for your ordinary life
I wish you all the happiness with your ordinary wife

You deny it now, but the kids will come
And you'll be "happy" then, like any ordinary man

So, I release you now from the burden of my love
From the trust I put in you, and all of the above

I release you now from all the promises you made
For I know you cannot keep any of them
