My Goodbye

You were reckless, sentimental at best That's not a teaching of mine You've grown soft, your dead friends can attest (Hey), put your emotions aside You're a warrior, meant to lead the rest I don't know where I went wrong But I warned you and you failed the test So now I'm gone This way, you'll know what your place is This way, you can't cross the line This way, when all is over You'll keep yours and I'll keep mine This way, you won't disappoint me This way, you won't waste my time This way, I'll close the door Consider this as my goodbye I just like you, why should I be surprised? Selfish and prideful and vain Unlike you, every time someone dies I'm left to deal with the strain What's a title that a goddess could lend If I'll never sleep at night? I'll remind you I saw you as a friend But now we're done This way, you're out of my head now This way, you won't plague my life This way, when all is done You're out of sight and out of mind This way, you get what you wanted This way, you can save your time This way, you close the door And have your damn goodbye You're not looking for a mentor I'm not looking for a friend I mistook you for a general What a waste of effort spent At least I know what I'm fighting for While you're fighting to be known Since you claim you're so much wiser Why's your life spent all alone? You're alone One day, you'll hear what I'm saying One day, you might understand One day, but not today For after all you're (just a man) This day, you sever your own head This day, you cut the line This day, you lost it all Consider this as my goodbye (Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) Consider this as my goodbye (Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) This is my goodbye (Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) Consider this as my goodbye (Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) This is my goodbye
