APART

It would take a miracle to put us back together,

now that we have parted separate ways.

We split in two as if we were the Red Sea

and that’s the way that Moses let it stay.

I want no part of you, you want no part of me.

It’s part-and-parcel of our impossibility.

In Part I, I led you to the bedroom.

In Part IV, you shoved me out the door.

Our partnership lost the Big Home Game.

But, then again, who’s keeping score?

I want no part of you, you want no part of me.

It’s part-and-parcel of our impossibility.

We’re apart. We’re apart.

If we were a physics problem,

we’d appear more like particles than waves,

heading towards opposite ends of the cosmos.

We won’t have side-by-side graves.

I want no part of you, you want no part of me.

It’s part-and-parcel of our impossibility.

I couldn’t stand your behavior at parties.

You acted like you had a part in a play.

I expressed myself better through my privates,

than I did emotionally.

I want no part of you, you want no part of me.

It’s part-and-parcel of our impossibility.

We’re apart. Rendered apart.

We ended up like a salvage yard:

Our hearts were filled with broken parts.

We didn’t impart affection

as we took our parting shots.

I want no part of you, you want no part of me.

It’s part-and-parcel of our impossibility.

Two turtle doves & a partridge in a pear tree,

I won’t partake Xmas with you.

I rarely think of you on your birthday.

Or even when I have a drink or two.

I want no part of you, you want no part of me.

It’s part-and-parcel of our impossibility.

We’re apart.

We’re apart

Torn apart.

We’re apart.
