I couldn't even write a song if it weren't about you
I couldn't even sing a note if it were about somebody new
I can't even dance a beat after you told me we're through
But happiness courses through my veins
Fresh blood dries into mere stains
Because I'm better without you here
Even though I thought I'd be dead if I didn't have you near
I'm drowning in your mistake
And I'm afraid I might be a moment too late
To get out alive, to survive
If it means never seeing you again, I'll take the dive
Into the ocean where our love sank
I won't be the one waiting for you at the river bank
And I hope you're full of disappointment
To heal the loss of love I think you'll need a different kind of ointment
I bet you thought I'd beg for you back
But it is love that we lack
I'll plug myself in, barricade you out
I won't take any notice of your pleading pout
I used to think you'd still love me tomorrow
But it seems that you were only suffocating me in sorrow
It seems to me that you've become the pages of a used book
You won't find anyone else to give you a second look
Our love was a roller coaster that only went down
If life's aim was to fail, you'd get the crown.
