Goodbye love

Both my hands forever wrapped around just one of yours
And it still isn’t enough
Your dry, cracked knuckles meet my lips
Choking on tears. I’m giving you away tonight.

I’ll close my eyes and hold my breath
And tell myself over and over and over
You don’t mean a damn thing to me anymore
Cross my heart and cross my fingers.
Not a damn thing. And this will be
The most painful move I'll ever make

I have been standing here all my life. I am the one
Who is willing to give you the love you crave
Who is willing, longing to make you happy
Why isn’t that good enough for you?
What is so wrong with me that you leave me standing
While you run after everyone else?
Just once, can I be good enough? Good enough for you?

The most painful move I'll ever make.
One kiss, neither first nor last
Not even good enough for your lips
It’s Goodbye tonight. Goodbye love.
I never expected to be lucky anyway.
