I'm just taking offense;
That's what I'm good at now.
I won't be on defense
I'll just admit it's my fault.
I'm tired of proving,
When no one's believing.
So I'll just be leaving.

Don't cry when I'm gone
Don't just pretend because
When I was here
Nobody cared.
I'm going somewhere better,
I hope so. Move on,
My feelings were insignificant.

When you see me,
And our eyes happen to meet,
Or we bump into each other,
Let's ignore each other.
Let's be strangers.
Go our separate ways.
Not even a wave, don't even stare.

Remember me as a stranger!
