The Words That Hurt the Worst
When the final moment came
And you said those fateful words
That I wasn't brave enough to say
I cried
Not because you said you were leaving
For I was prepared for that
But because you said it so nicely
I think that sometimes in goodbyes
The words that hurt the worst
Are not the bitter and cruel ones
But the kind ones
The ones that are gentle and sincere
Because you know you'll never have a chance
Of convincing yourself
That they aren't true
It's so much simpler
When the victim and the villain
Are easily defined
Perhaps I could have convinced myself
That you never loved me
Why did you have to look at me like that?
Why did you have to go
And be so damn kind?
