Saying Goodbye To Here

Saying goodbye
To everyone
And to all things
That have come and gone
In this place

Here dreams have been born
Here dreams have been put to death

It is a cruel reality
I am waking up to now
But a necessary one at last

For all you represented
For all you promised me
In the end
You are no better
You are no worse

Than any other place
I have been
Or shall ever be

The only power
You wield over me now
Is the power of memory

Ah, those sweet, painful memories
