Just another goodbye

The world is full of goodbyes. Is this any reason not to say hello?

For me it is.

I have said too many goodbyes to be naive enough to say that saying hello again is worth the pain. You meet someone new... you get close to them... and they let you down.

Again.

Sometimes you think, yes, I can trust this person.

Sometimes it happens unconsciously. 

And then all of a sudden you realize they've entered your world...

And you're vulnerable

Maybe it's something wrong with me?

Maybe I'm the one making the same mistake.

Over and over again.

And now I'm tired.

The bystander tells me that if I never say hello, I will never love.

To me... I guess that's the whole point.

If you don't love, you don't care. And when you don't care, you don't get hurt.

I can't help but care deeply about the ones I love. And inevitably, I get hurt.

Shame on you if you fool me once, shame on me if you fool me twice right?

I need to see some effort on your side. I need to know you care - because baby, I do.

And you don't even know. 

Did you ever love me?

Did you ever care?

I guess I'll never know.

You're just another goodbye
