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
