The Simple Word Goodbye

No other explanation

The daily struggle is now over
From the battle I now silently retreat,
The truth behind all our troubles
Has now been revealed complete.

I have tried in so many ways
To help you where you need,
But you’ve built a wall so high
I fear you’ll never break free.

So I can’t let my heart get broken
I refuse to let you make me cry,
Nor allow you to shatter my dreams
So please let me say goodbye.

It’s not my place to try to change you
And that’s why it’s time for me to go,
I can’t watch you waste your life
That’ll hurt more than you know.

So forgive me but I’m leaving
I won’t give you any reason why,
I’ll offer the only explanation
Of the simple word goodbye.
