and just like dissolved water my eyes will see you no more,
I've left this letter and now it's about time,
time to meet the stars and become acquainted with the rainbow that was placed in the sky for me to follow,

I can't act like I love you anymore,
I'm no Marlon Brando,
This is goodbye,
no longer do I have a place in my heart for you
