I Don't Want You Around

By Bruce Clifford 

All I thought about you was a lie

This vision hit me just in time

You’re no easy friend to ever want to keep around

Why don’t you get out of my face and move to some far away town

I don’t want you around

All you described to me was false

In time nothing was real at such a cost

You’re too cynical  to want to have around

Why don’t you pack up your lies and fly off to another town

I don’t want you around

I don’t want you around here

I don’t want you to be near

I’ve had enough of your selfish ways

I don’t want you around

All this time you were just a lie

The moments shared were a disguise

You’re too much work for me to want to keep you around 

Why don’t you just walk away and cut your losses in this town

I don’t want you around
