Good Riddance
Our final encounter let's keep this brief
You stole my heart an experienced thief
But I got it back and what a relief
Here's your collateral take your grief
Pack it in your baggage don't leave it behind
This isn't a storage of any kind
Whatever you're searching for you'll find
That it was a complete waste of time
Hurry up you're moving too slow
Now you act like you don't want to go
I need my space and room to grow
And baby you're just disturbing my flow
Don't even start to explain I'm finished
There's no point in cleaning up your image
You're marked for life a permanent blemish
Reclaimed my strength and now I'm replenished
I guess this is goodbye
That infamous word I don't like to say
Don't look back be on your way
The road is rough the skies are gray
Prepare yourself for a rainy day
The consequence of the choice you made
All the games you constantly played
I begged, I pleaded, I cried, I prayed
But you're a lost cause that couldn't be saved
Temptation called you took the bait
While I was drunk staying up late
Too many times you made me wait
Not anymore you sealed your fate
See my eyes are pefectly dry
Never again will you make me cry
My head held high as I look to the sky
I say a prayer and I ask God why
Does this have to be goodbye?
Yes it does we've reached the end
I honestly never want to see you again
You're nothing to me not even my friend
You've helped me to see how lonely I've been
To put up with you and the things you did
I'm dying inside you stepped out and lived
But that's okay I've put in my bid
For a real man not an immature kid
I want you to leave not my front door keys
Return them to their rightful owner please
I'll change the locks to put my mind at ease
Cross the threshold and feel the breeze
Of the door slamming in your face
Take your loss and leave with grace
Quit dragging your feet pick up the pace
The dude coming by he's taking your place
Goodbye!
