You no longer hurt me
You no longer break me
You no longer hold me back
You no longer make my days dark and black

I no longer feel guilty for looking
I no longer have that feeling
I no longer drag my feet, wanting you to be mine
I no longer want to turn back time

I don't love you
I don't hate you
I don't want you
I don't need you
I don't ask for you

I am happy for you, really
I hope you two work out nicely
We were supposed to last forever
But no.
Do I want you back? Would I ever take you back?
No. Never.

I am getting off topic, forgive me
I just am finally free
I am young and I will enjoy every bit of it
I thought I felt infinite
With you
But I was caged, chained, held down
I can party, live, have nights on the town

When I see your picture, I no longer want to rot
I think about what to do now a lot
I think I will just be me
I no longer cling to the idea of you desperately
I no longer question if this is reality
I no longer want to end everything
For it is only after you've lost everything that you are free to do anything

I am over you
I no longer am the same person who loved you
I am no longer so naïve
I no longer want to leave
This world
For I am a new man
No longer held down by my past
No longer wishing for it to last
No longer only flying half mast
For I am full sail
To the future, an endless sea
"You are my medicine when you're close to me"
Well darling I was addicted to the idea of it
Medicine? No. I was just popping pills
So here I come, endless sea
And farewell Melancholy Hill
For you have no idea what you're in for
Because this is just the start of Me
