Part of the poem was sampling “Say Something” by A Great Big World:
Goodbye
Say something I’m giving up on you
So many different journeys in the room
For some the decision has been made
There are others still deciding
For some the price has already been paid
For some still seeing where they fit
Still trying to count the cost
Still looking that old lover in the face and reflecting on what was lost
Some saw the trap and stomped and kicked
You have no right to have me bound
I've walked through these woods before and your hideout has been found
Your camouflage has been revealed, your disguise has been found out
I'd been wooed by your words but now I know just what you're all about
Say something? No be quiet - your voice before had been too loud
Your voice before had been so soothing
Your voice before began to cloud
Began to lure me with the lies
Began to cure me with the high
But I get sick when your quick to dip from that trip and all that's left on my lips is the question why
I'm done
You see whether choice or Disease is it causing Dis Ease?
Is it challenging your peace?
Has your life been under siege?
Is it going well then you hit a snag then you're going back
Then you're under attack
Is it flowing well then you get setback
And your losing stacks
And your freedom capped
It's time
To say goodbye
Goodbye dear liquid
No longer can I sit with
The idea that our courtship
Can continue as it has
Goodbye dear filler
The time we shared was killer
But I found another thriller
Our time is in the past
I’m compelled to live my life now
Without the pain and strife now
Pull out the legal knife now
You put into my back
I found new love its me now
Wait can’t you see I’m free now
You not a dime you cheap now
I’m getting back on track
We’re done
So many different journeys in the room
We’re not all on the same page
But perhaps there’s one thing to share
Perhaps there’s one thing to say
What was
Can no longer be
What has been has been derailed
Our future can’t reflect the past
We’re out of that prison
Posted bail
Moving ahead we remain focused
Saying goodbye to the past
Writing a letter to its closure
That wild ride couldn’t last
Goodbye dear liquid
No longer can I sit with
The idea that our courtship
Can continue as it has
Goodbye dear filler
The time we shared was killer
But I found another thriller
Our time is in the past
I’m compelled to live my life now
Without the pain and strife now
Pull out the legal knife now
You put into my back
I found new love its me now
Wait can’t you see I’m free now
You not a dime you cheap now
I’m getting back on track
Say something I’m giving up on you
Say nothing - I’ve given up on you
