What am I supposed to do when I realize the truth.
The truth that you never wanted me and probably never will
The truth that the lies became to real.
The truth that it all changed, for the better?
The truth that I never wanted it to change at all..
The truth that it is all final,
The truth that it is goodbye,
The truth that I never was the best for you
The truth that you weren’t the best for me.

The truth that you can’t change the past
No matter how much I want to.
The truth that this is goodbye
The truth that it is for the better.
