This is a goodbye note,
But not like the ones you hear.
I'm here to say goodbye
To the secret life I keep in fear.
I'm tired of all the secrets,
And I'm tired of all the lies.
I'm done with hiding from the mirror,
And so I'm here to say goodbye.
Goodbye to my lies.
Goodbye to my mistakes.
Goodbye to the sighs
Of every excuse I have to fake.
Goodbye to the hiding,
Goodbye to the doubt.
Goodbye to the fighting,
Every time I get found out.
See, I'm tired of living a double life
And I'm tired of trying to hide it.
I'm done with trying to make excuses
For reasons I can't admit.
I want to stop looking over my shoulder,
In fear that now they know.
I want to look my father in the eyes,
And tell him that I'll never go.
So I'm saying goodbye now,
And I won't look back.
I'm leaving this behind me
To get my life back on track.
This is a goodbye note,
To the other side of me.
I won't miss you when you're gone,
Because then, I can clearly see
That rebellion is never sweet,
When it buries the person you should be.
