I remember the time
when we said our goodbyes
swore that I wouldn't cry
but I was dying inside
see you'd stolen my heart
now you've torn it apart
should've known from the start,
I should have known from the start
You let me go,
if you think that my leaving is odd
let me spell it out now like bees,
in font you can easily see and read
cos i'm not the most evilest, meanest
or fiendish of dogs
like you make me out to be
but believe that i thought
we were peas in a pod
didn't need it to stop
used to be so steamy and hot
like tea in pot meant to be but it got
heavy like i was heaving a rock
up a hillside where its steep at the top
she was my god I was grieving a lot,
shed so many tears that i needed a mop
in jeans and a top, my sexy hoe,
i mean you were hot like Mexico
but then it all stopped you Eskimo
and i don't regret that i let you go!
You said you'd always be there,
promised you'd always care
but somehow life isn't fair
and now it's going nowhere.
There was no guarantee,
that you'd stay here with me
but I just couldn't see,
no I just couldn't see
You let me go
you used to make me watch musicals
now i'm going on booty calls
dosing these pharmaceuticals
forgetting about our nuclear war
yeah what we had was beautiful
and i try and act super-cool
when i think about what we used to do before
but what you turn so snooty for?
you sucked the fun out my
love had run out
that's why i just had to run out
for a while a stayed in, wouldn't come out
then i got high just wouldn't come down
so high but it's getting me low
sort of like the level I'm setting the tone
think it's better the devil you know
that is why i'm letting you go!
