I'm finally good with not being in your life,

and won't let you find your way back into mine. 

I'm finally done with cat-and-mouse, 

The chasing game we've been playing for so long. 

I'm finished trying to win you over, 

and I'm finished wasting all my time. 

You said your love was forever, 

and ended it with it's for the best, 

but our "love" is a glorified massacre, 

leaving nothing in our chests.

When you said you were through with me,

I admit, I was relieved.

I knew I could let go of you,

and I could finally breathe.

But then you kept a hold on me,

and I couldn't cut the string.

I worked the nerve to confront you,

I had heard what I needed to hear. 

And finally the string had broken,

And then YOU couldn't let it be.

YOU wouldn't let the memories settle.

I feel that, now I'm more frequently on your mind. 

Don't even think that once again, 

you'll catch me on that broken fishing line.

You told me to give up on you.

and You may have finally won, 

but I'm never second best.

You've got no place in this lonely heart.

There's no longer a welcome mat

Sitting in my chest.

You can have all you want now,

but let's just hope that isn't me.

Just a final word here. 

Sure we can be friends,

but it'll be a very long time before

If and ever,

I love you like that again.
