Leaving You

I've finally found the courage to tell you goodbye.
You know for way too long we’ve been living a lie.
You're distant and uncaring and I think it's a sign,
I have to let you go, I think it is time.

You only hit me once, and that was enough.
You yell at me and threaten me and other stuff.
I hide it from my friends and my mom and my dad,
I’m so scared of you and things are so bad.

I’m writing a goodbye note to leave on the bar,
And I’m getting on a bus and going far.
I’m leaving you forever like I know I should.
Looking forward to a time when my life is good.

I’ll miss your kisses and miss your smile,
Even though I haven’t seen them in a long, long while.
I’ll miss what was and could have been,
You use to be my very best friend.

I’m not sure when things started to change
I’m not free anymore, you put me in emotional chains.
Anger, jealousy and accusations fill your eyes,
When you look at me I want to die.

I’m leaving everything behind, including my heart.
I’m escaping from you to have a fresh start.
I’m scared of leaving and being on my own
But I know that somewhere I’ll find a happy home.
