I enjoyed watching you walk out of my life,
Now that you’re gone I am rid of this strife.
The pain you caused me was way too much,
The wounds you gave me – too painful to touch.

So now you’re gone I can forget and move on,
Stay out drinking till the break of dawn.
But all I seem to be doing lately since I said goodbye,
Is staying at home, alone, just so I can cry.

I’m so glad to rid myself from you, but I can’t stop this ache,
The hurt overwhelming me; I’m failing to fake.
I know I did the right thing to let you go,
But I’m writing this for you to let you know:

You hit, cheated and lied – I don’t need it,
I left you there for my benefit.
But instead of freeing me from this sin,
I’m still faced with this pain, and allowing more in.

You won’t get to see these tears I’ve cried,
You won’t get to hold me and stay by my side.
We won’t ever get to do the things that lovers do,
I’ll never see you again, and it’s all because of you.

But where’s the change?
You were never there for me.
