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 actual 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!
