I must give you up

I must give you up
although, I've never had a feeling quite like this in my life
Holding onto you hurts me more than I can bear
I'm never the one that wants to let go

I was daydreaming today
that i would call you up
and calmly tell you
that this 'friendship' wasn't working for me

Coolly, I would tell you that it wasn't your fault
but that i could no longer be held by the last hair left on my head
and then demand that you make a decision
and finally, just say goodbye and farewell

In my heart, I know that you would agonize
afterall, you call me at least twice a day every day
and then i wouldn't forget to mention
that all of your 'emotional outbursts' are driving me insane

but the most outstanding part of the performance would be
when i bluntly told you that you were an awful friend
that you needed to get your life in order asap
or that you would be without me

i would also recommend that you get all your stuff
apologize for not being able to take this anymore
tell you how wonderful you used to be
and finally end with telling you that i hope you have a wonderful life

I know that if you didn't have me, that you would be in a sad place
but for some odd reason you don't see it
you don't seem to realize who you are calling at all hours of the night
who holds the tissue for you when you cry

the other night you did apologize, but it was long overdue
I don't want to be just your friend
I have plenty of other friends
and for once in my life..i don't want another

Call me selfish
I know you are going through a lot of things in your life
But so am I
and I don't want to be bothered with your loneliness or bullshit unless I stand to benefit

I'm 21 years old, I have men who want me
For some odd reason, I'm stuck on you
But I want all this shit to be over
I want you to get down on one knee, apologize for all the pain you've caused me and just propose

Where would you be if I gave you up?
Cold, Lonely and much more bitter
Instead I hang on for the day when you realize that I make a better everything
That you truly wouldn't survive if I gave you up
