Lyrics

I was shocked 
I was angry
We were one
And the same
We had a bond
I never thought
You would betray

You went back
On the promise
Turned your back
On our pledge
On our vows
On our oath
To my dismay

I appealed 
to your senses
to your heart 
to your brain
To make you 
See the error 
Of your ways

I tried pleading
I tried begging
I implored you
Supplicating
I was ready
To give up my
Self-respect


I wrote you songs
I wrote you poems
I spilled my guts
I bared my soul
I tried to move you 
With my silly 
Serenades

I still had hope
You'd reconsider
Change your mind
See the light
Stop the madness
Make it right
Grant a stay

But you stood by 
Your position
Your stood by 
Your decision
You persisted
And nothing 
made you sway

I went around
In a stupor
And I lost my
sense of humor
I just sunk
Into a funk
Of endless gray


You know it
Took me forever
To pull myself
Together
Recover
Heal and mend
Resuscitate

Now as you fade
into the distance
As you fade
into irrelevance
My memories 
Of you grow 
Dim and faint

And today
I'm so grateful
To be free
From your hateful
Childish, selfish, 
And narrow-
Minded ways

So it's the last time
I'll be singing
bout your foibles 
or your failings
cuz I'm happy
And you can't take
That away
