Analysis of Goodbye



You said you would see me
right when you got back,
the time is way after that.

You said you couldnt go a day
without talking to me,
or a day without seeing me...
its been over three.

I thought you were the one,
but we are over and done.

This is the second time i
am heart broken by you,
yet you said what you did
before you would never do.

You broke my heart,
now you have to deal
with us being apart.
