I'm smiling and laughing with you
Pretending I'm okay.
But the smile's not pretend,
It's filled with hope that you'll stay.

Still, I know it's false,
It's stupid to believe,
That you're the one who's different,
When everybody leaves.

But I'll be fine,
Don't stay for my sake.
The last thing I want
Is another heart to break.

Just go on,
You know the way out.
No, I'm not "alright"!
No, that's not what this is about!

It isn't you!
Is that what you want to hear?!
You're a saint, a god!
Now is everything clear?

Whatever, just, go.
It doesn't matter anymore.
I'll move on,
I lived without you before.

Don't even say that.
Of course this hurts!
Oh, course, I'm the villain.
News flash: you pushed me away first!

Look at you, just like the rest.
Not even gonna put up a fight.
Cause running away
Makes everything alright.

Fine, okay.
I'm not even gonna try
To hold on when you're so unhappy.
Goodbye.
