You said you were happy 
And seriously, why wouldn't you be?
You got everything you wanted 
And somehow you think you've handled me

Because I've kept silent
Kept my own counsel 
No longer sharing
My feelings or experiences 

But somehow you have denied it all
Because nothing has changed here 
You keep doing that **** you're doing
And I'm here expected to pick up the pieces (every time)

But like Mother Nature's rage
I'm going to explode if I don't walk away
My instincts have been honed
And I know that you'll never change 

You'll always be in control mode
You'll always want everything your way 
No matter the consequences for others
No matter the heartbreak and betrayal 

So thanks for the lessons 
Not so much for the memories 
Thanks for reminding me of 
Who you'll never be 

So, thanks for the lessons 
My worth is way more than you can see
I'm going to hit the highway now
Time to explore my Destiny 

My bags are in the car
And I'm on my way now
You're standing at the door
Surprised that I'm actually leaving 

You never thought it would happen 
You thought I'd always be your doormat 
But I feel more like a magic carpet 
And I'm going to explore that 

No more taking a lack of effort 
No more accepting less than best
No more making excuses for your actions 
No more thinking about possibilities 

Because I deserve Love and Happiness 
And I get to choose my Life Path 
I deserve Peace and Comfort
Knowing I'm building a Partnership 

So thanks for the lessons 
Not so much for the memories 
Thanks for reminding me of 
Who you'll never be 

So, thanks for the lessons 
My worth is way more than you can see
I'm going to hit the highway now
Time to explore my Destiny 

So thanks for the lessons 
Not so much for the memories 
Thanks for reminding me of 
Who you'll never be 

So, thanks for the lessons 
My worth is way more than you can see
I'm going to hit the highway now
Time to explore my Destiny 

I'm planning on being happy 
And hell, without you, why wouldn't I be?
Oh, yeah!
Yeah!
