Saying Goodbye To You

You say everything just happens to you
You’re not to blame at all
Crossing the track when the train came through
Weren’t you hoping to fall

What you don’t see are all the ways
You paint your face like a sign
Put that target on your chin
And nothing works out fine

How did sweet little cute little you
Get to be so bad
All your situations always
Seem to wind up sad

Try to find your inner self
Whoever she may be
Give her one good talking to
And throw in some for me

Someday, someone will understand
Just how much you hurt
He’ll treat you right and wonder why
You treat him like dirt

And so with love and some regret
There’s nothing he can do
He’ll say goodbye just like I’m
Saying goodbye to you
