It Feels So Good, Not Feeling

I saw you kissing him, but I just smiled,
There was a time that would have drove me wild,
It feels so good, not feeling anymore,
It feels so good, not feeling anymore.

There’s something in the way you said “Hello”,
I guess you’re not that girl I used to know,
It’s just as well, because I’m changing too—
It feels so good, not feeling seeing you,
It reels so good, not feeling, seeing you,

I used to burn my fingers on that torch I tried to bear,
I wrote you all those letters telling you I’d always care,
I hope you threw away those silly letters from a fool,
You always said the brightest flame would be the first to cool.

The waitress comes and she refills my glass,
I never thought I’d see those mem’ries pass,
It feels so good, not feeling, and I’m free,
It feels so good, not feeling, and I’m free.
