I've escaped all your contorting cages
Immune to your call
I'm happier than I have been in ages
And that says it all
Should have been able to confide
Of betrayal, you are the King
The one and only time you cried
Was the very first time I felt nothing
I deserve so much more respect
What is it about me, you can't appreciate?
I shouldn't constantly be held suspect
Or be something you underrate
Two years is far too long to wait
Until you find me attractive
It's too little, it's too late
You were much too inactive
We obviously weren't anywhere close to fate
A massive mistake made by Cupid
Sometimes you would needlessly berate
And made me feel so stupid
You said you liked having a girlfriend
But not being with me specifically
Oh, how you used to condescend
And patronise, terrifically
You thought I could be really mean
I put up with a lot of your blemishes
Your shocking levels of personal hygiene
And your fucked up fetishes
Consuming was your insecurity
Gradually restricting my craziness
You twisted your wrongs back on me
I can't stand your laziness
And every time I tried to be sexy
You found it funny or cringe-worthy
So embarrassing, wanting apoplexy
Making me apprehensive and surly
I want someone with maturity
I don't want a little boy
Who can offer me no surety
I'm not your personal sex toy
That you can use at your leisure
Without returning the favour
I'm not a kind of disposable treasure
So, from you, I started to waver
Questioned my diminishing devotion
No wonder I started to misgive
After your ultimate betraying motion
Something I shouldn't have to forgive
You wish I broke up with you with emotion
By this point I had none left to give
My feelings, you used to maim
You've never felt what love is
Neither have I, but I don't make outlandish claims
Subject to self-obsessed analysis
Don't flatter yourself
Get a grip
With you, I didn't like myself
Our relationship was a shit tip
Mistakes I may attain
But at least I have some self-respect
I don't ever want to speak to you again
After this, what do you expect?
The truth, you can't accept
It's over, you have no alibi
Your bullshit I did intercept
Under your control, I no longer comply
My decision, I don't have to justify
It's something I'll forever standby
Never again will you make me cry
Since I left you, not once have I wept
And I don't have to speculate why
There's nothing left to say except
Goodbye
