the nicest thing you ever did for me was leave

one thing that i never thought i'd believe
the nicest thing you ever did for me was leave
so thanks for giving up and running away
cuz i would've kept trying to make you stay

your son's doing fine, not that you've ever asked
he misses you but i'm sure that won't last
my friends have kept me from wallowing in grief
and finally that pain has turned to relief

so have fun living your slacker life so free
maybe one day you can afford to hook up tv
i don't wish you harm but i don't wish you well
just wish you'd vanish into your selfish hell

one thing that i never thought i'd believe
the nicest thing you ever did for me was leave
so thanks for quitting on everything you knew
i deserve better than i ever got from you
