I woke up today
and I realized
you weren't on my mind
I felt
nothing
for you
at all
instead I felt lighter
freer
knowing that finally
I was free
of you
you were a dead weight
literally
(ha)
and now you've faded
I've forgotten your face
you're nothing
to me
but a memory
from a different time
an old life
I would say goodbye
but there's no point
I'm already gone
from you
and you've been gone
from me
for years
that's okay
it's over now between us
you can't haunt me anymore
you don't own the darkest corners
of my mind
and soul
I'm just confused
as to why I ever loved you
in the first place
