say good bye when you leave
and close the door gently as you go

there will be no need for display
when you go
and you will go
that is what men do
do not think twice
or say it will not be

insecurity or strength
one will prove too much
for you

 i am too needy in my strength

and i will laugh
as nothing is so simple
and then i will cry

always i think of ends
before beginnings
you taught me that long ago
when i gave you my heart
and you forgot to give it back

i learned to keep what i need to myself

so before there is another beginning
i practice the ending

you may keep my heart
it has been with you for most of your life
and i have learned to live without it
