Another Breakup Ballad

Haroula Rose


I mistakenly believed
That i would be the one
Who could make you think of
No one else but me
And i refused to see the truth
When all my friends would say
Just walk away not to count on you
It’s time
Though it makes me sad
It’s time
All the nights we had
It’s time
To leave it all behind
It’s time
To say goodbye
This morning i was lost in thought
About those flowers that you bought
For me, and the card would read
An apology
But memories fade just like the day
And i don’t want to hear you say
“do you remember that night from last november?”
It’s time
Though it makes me sad
It’s time
All the nights we had
It’s time
To leave it all behind
It’s time
To say goodbye
I wear my sweaters thick
Go to bed with lots of blankets
Because my dreams— they leave me cold
I thought we’d make it
Together we’d grow old
But now despite the lovely life
I’d planned for you and i
It’s come to that time
Where we must say goodbye
