Goodbye

I feel terrible saying this
I don't want to hurt you
But it must come out
It's the right thing to do

I know that you like me
And I think I feel the same
But you see I've been through hell
And I won't go there again

You say you're a nice guy
And you probably are
But I'm not ready for this
I still have my scars

It's not your fault at all
I know that its mine
But I need more time to heal
Maybe a year, then I'll be fine

It's a long time to wait
For you to do it would be wrong
But after all I've been through
I'll need at least that long

I've found guys I thought were the one
And loved them through and through
But all I got was abuse
I was beaten black and blue

But maybe one day I'll be ok
And the pain inside will die
Maybe one day my scars will heal
But until that day

Goodbye
