Goodbye to Denial by Melodie Yvonne

The time I found your gear was like a bullet to my gut
I wondered if there’d ever be a time you’d say enough
I thought of all the lies and all the time I spent denyin’
But the blinds are off my eyes now and I’m just so sick of tryin’

Constant lies and alibis
My heart’s done hearin’ all your lies
Constant lies and alibis
It’s time to say goodbye

You’re gettin’ half the message and you’re gettin’ that half wrong
I used to want you by my side but now I want you gone
The difference in your demons are as plain as night and day
And now I’ve got just two words left for you and those are go away

Constant lies and alibis
My heart’s done hearin’ all your lies
Constant lies and alibis
It’s time to say goodbye
