Goodbye

IzzySad

Goodbye to you I should have known you’d never come back You picked me up from the burning flames Yet you dropped me when I became boring I tried to please you Yet you frowned at all my jokes You thought you were doing what was best for both of us Yet what you do always has the opposite effect I suffer without your shadow Now I’m just a distant memory to you You’re the only one to understand me You read me like a book Accepted all of me Yet you still left You made me feel everything at once Now all I feel is absurd So I say Goodbye to you
