Gone

Take a good look at this face 
because you'll never see it again 
maybe you'll see it in passing
but it won't be the face you remember
you won't want to remember
and before you try to explain
know that there's nothing you can say
at least not now 
you had a chance to produce the truth
but you chose to create a lie
and in telling this lie
you showed blatant disrespect
it's a good thing I respect myself more
otherwise you would see the face of old
the face that would turn the other cheek
now I barely show my other cheek
the face that would smile through it all
when really I was just tired of it all
I still love you
it's a good thing I love myself more
so take a good look at this face
because you'll never see that face again
your light just isn't bright enough
