Unhooked

by Roger E. Bissell

1982

Go on your merry way. How was I to know

You would ever say you had to leave?

You and I are dead. Never did believe

All those things you said, like "Forever."

Never did ring true, when you told me "I love you."

But always thought that we'd work out somehow.

Guess that I was wrong. Obviously we're through.

We just don't belong to each other now.

Guess it's time to go on our sep'rate ways.

Now it all must end.

Now you'll never know you were my best friend.

Go, if you really must. But you ought to know

You were more than just a pretty face.

You and I were good. How can I retrace

All the steps we took down life's hallways?

Always kept in mind that true love is hard to find.

But never entertained the thought that we'd ever come unhooked.

Guess that I was wrong. Obviously we're through.

We just don't belong to each other now.

Guess it's time to go on our sep'rate ways.

Now it all must end.

Now you'll never know you were my best friend.
