I'm Not Afraid Of Goodbyes Anymore

Hello.
Yes, I remember you,
But I think it's best you don't come in.
Why yes,
It's been a long, long time,
But I wouldn't call you my old friend.
Oh yes,
I missed you for awhile;
You could have come back long ago,
But you didn't, and I think it's time
That you know;
I'm not afraid of goodbyes anymore.
I've been better off since you told me yours.
Yes, it hurt awhile;
It was hard to see you leave,
But until now,
You've never cared about me.
And now I realize how fake you were all along,
I think I'm better off with you gone,
Gone, gone, gone.
Oooh...
It was good of you to drop by
After such a long, long, long time.
It too ages just for me to cross your mind,
But you can leave now,
Because it's finally crossed mine,
That I'm better off alone;
It's just taken time to let go,
And if you'd let me I would like to forget
All about you and the times we had.
I'm not crying because it's hard to see you go;
I'm just relieved that I can finally let you know
I'm not afraid of goodbyes anymore,
Because I've been stronger
Since you told me yours.
I guess I can thank you
For showing me,
Sometimes the only way to heal
Is to let somebody leave.
No, I'm not afraid of goodbyes anymore;
And I don't plan on giving back yours.
I finally realized how fake you were all along,
And now I think I'm better of with you gone.
Oooh....
Gone.
Gone, gone, gone, gone.
No, no, no, I'm not afraid
Of goodbyes.

Giving Away

I'm not so bright,
And I'm not so pretty;
I've given up the idea

That anyone could love me.
But I don't want to be alone, 
So you can break me down the middle;
You don't have to love me,
Just stitch me up with your needle.
And is that really all that we want?
To hurt and then apologize;
See our pain in someone else's eyes,
Knowing sorry can't make it go away?
That's not what I was looking for,
But that's all that cupid's giving away.

I'll say I'm okay,
But I'm not alright;
You'll tell me you love me,
But we only ever fight.
I would stand up to you,
But I'm much too little,
And I need you to sew up
This tear you made down my middle.
And is that really all that we want?
To hurt and then apologize;
See our pain in someone else's eyes,
Knowing sorry can't make it go away?
That's not what I was looking for,
But that's all that cupid's giving away.

You tell me lies;
I try to believe you.
I keep on staying,
But I don't know why I do.
I just don't want to be alone,
So I let you break me down the middle,
Then you tell me you love me,
And stitch me up with your needle.
Is that really all you wanted?
To hurt and then apologize;
To see your pain reflected in my eyes,
Knowing it will never go away?
That's not what I was looking for,
But that's all that you're giving away.
Don't wanna say things I can't mean,
But that's all that I know how to say.
That's all that we're giving away;
Giving away.
