"GOODBYE, GEMINI"

Indulge me in a little 'blast from the past'... Ten years ago this winter.


                    “…You wouldn’t know a diamond if you held it in your hand -                     
                                                  the things you think are useless, I can’t understand.”
                                                                                                                             - Donald Fagan


  
I guess you never told your twin
that you said that you loved me,
or how it would be such a sin
to take advantage of me.



Did you just hope I’d understand,
when all along you knew
that only one of you loved me
out of the two of you?



                 Goodbye, Gemini.
          I’ve got to set you free.
          I just can’t live with half your love,
                 and you, and you, and me.
   
                 Goodbye, Gemini.
          It’s better that we parted -
         ‘Cause you’re not only two-faced,
                 you’re two-headed and two-hearted.



I set my heart on giving you
the time and space you needed,
and set aside what happened to
my needs, left all unheeded.



Did you just think I wouldn’t see
when you stopped paying attention?
That you are hot and cold like this
is past my comprehension.



                 Goodbye, Gemini.
          I’ve got to set you free.
          I just can’t live with half your love,
                 and you, and you, and me.

   
                 Goodbye, Gemini.
          It’s better that we parted -
         ‘Cause you’re not only two-faced,
                 you’re two-headed and two-hearted.



                                        ~:~:~:~:~
Convenient for you, isn’t it,
          to pass off telling lies
                    by saying it’s the other you that’s talking?

Your explanation’s just a bad excuse
          in poor disguise -

                    You two can stay right here and watch me walking  -  out.
                                           ~:~:~:~:~


                 Goodbye, Gemini.
          I’ve got to set you free.
          I just can’t live with half your love,
                 and you, and you, and me.

   
                 Goodbye, Gemini.
          It’s better that we parted -

         ‘Cause if I can’t have all of you,
                 I wish we’d never started -



          I didn’t know the love I gave
          could just be disregarded…
          But you’re not only two-faced,

                 You’re two-headed and two-hearted.
