I didn't think that I might cry
When I bid you farewell this one last time
It seems you taught me one more lesson
Of the finality of fate
About love and truth that come too late
How typical of me
To know what's coming
And still stay away
To let you waste
While hiding from the ghost
Of everything that scares me the most

And now it feels hypocrisy is high
As I sit here intellectualizing rhymes
Trying so hard
And failing not to think
That it's been twenty years
Since last you heard me sing
But guilt aside
At least now I can say
That from afar I loved you my own way
Because I never did expect to cry
As I bid you farewell that one last time

Thank you for everything
Sorry for everything
Good bye
I'll remember you smiling
