GOODBYE
TO MY BRUISED AND FALLEN KNEES
I used to wear with my mini skirts.
GOODBYE to the boys whose hearts I had but they
never could learn.
GOODBYE to the world that was—
the fame, the greed, the shame.
We’re smart enough to know by now that
what really matters is who you are behind
the name.
I don’t blame you for what you
didn’t know back then.
For becoming what you thought was
best at the time,
but wasn’t in the end.
I’m no longer riding on pipe dreams.
No longer dreaming of better days to come.
The days are gone I cry!
They’ve disappeared and we’re all still here the same.
Goodbye to waiting for things to change.
Even if they never do,
I promise to live today,
I promise to live today.
