Sometimes
I like to sit and think about
How the
World can be so cruel, so cold
How that love could be so bold

And now
I think I must confess
That I
Never truly gave my best
Now let this fall to rest...

And don't cry
Don't cry about it, girl
I'm not
Worth a minute of your time
Because you were better for me
Than I ever was for you

And don't you know?
Don't you know how you changed me?
You taught
Me what it truly means to love
The best time of my life
But now this is goodbye

Sometimes
I wish we could go back to when
We sat
Beside the babbling creek bed
With drawn-in hearts around our head

But I know
Now that we were never good
So long
It sure has been a blast
We must escape our past

But don't cry,
Don't cry about it, girl
I'm not
Worth a minute of your time
Because you were better for me
Than I ever was for you

And don't you know?
Don't you know how you changed me?
You taught
Me what it truly means to love
I never liked farewells
But now this is our last goodbye...

Can you hear
The sound of the wind?
Calling me
To places I've not been
Maybe I
Will stop to say hello
But for now I must go
Goodbye

Please don't,
Please don't think too bad of me
'Cause now
I'm just a man without a mission
There's somethin' that I'm missin'
It hurts like hell to walk away

I want to be so f**king dope that it offends people.. I want people to feel a little disrespected when I show up.

Good stuff!
