To whom it may concern (whoever that may be)
For I can think of no-one who has shown concern for me.
My last will and
testament I now bequeath
To all those I trusted (to those who deceived me)
Though by hope deserted of this I am sure
That where I
am going you'll hurt me no more.
While your plotting my downfall I'm planning my wake
Still you're trying to see how much more I
can take
In this game that we're playing I know I can't win
And my dreams have all ended before they begin.
One for the wish
that would never come true
Two for the kisses betraying a fool
Three for the life that was my bed of nails
For there's only one
answer when all else fails.
I fear I have been here too long for my own good
Outstaying my welcome when all the time I
should
Have heeded my heart when it said take your bow
But I'm sadder and wiser and listening now.
In this life that you're
leading you're fooling yourself
If you think you are better than anyone else
So shed not your tears for me now pretty child
For
when I was crying - remember, you smiled.
The knife that I'm holding was never as sharp
As the words from your cruel lips that
punctured my heart
Tell me where was your friendship in my hour of need
When you stood and you laughed while watching me
bleed?
One for the wish that would never come true
Two for the kisses betraying a fool
Three for the life that was my bed of
nails
For there's only one answer when all else fails.
Don't talk to me of loneliness - don't speak to me of tears
For I have
had enough of both to last a thousand years
"If music be the food of love" then let a famine rage
To starve my childish innocence
before it comes of age.
One for the wish that would never come true
Two for the kisses betraying a fool
Three for the life
that was my bed of nails
For there's only one answer when all else fails.
I beg you forgive me - I apologise
For wasting your
time with such lengthy goodbyes
But as I depart - unto destiny kneel
I pray that one day you will know how I
feel.
Goodbye.
