lyrics

Well I was bitter, I'll admit;
counting down the days until I got over it
Just to think I never will
It was too long wasting time –
clearing your way and meanwhile losing mine
It was never fair to me

What does it say about my self worth
That I never put myself first?

Well I have grown much more than before –
you wouldn't know
but I don't owe anything to you
It was my choice, and I'm moving on
it's the best possible thing left to do
There's still life after you.

It was a slow transition – I guess I admire that
the stealth, the slow eclipse, indoctrination at it's best
A graceful shame, but darling, I bet you're proud of it
I've never felt so wrong, and waking up has left me stronger
snap to stifling, I won't be fooled here any longer
Congratulations though – hindsight's still a worse bitch than you

What does it say about my self worth
That I still can't put myself first?

Well I have grown much more than before –
you wouldn't know
but I don't owe anything to you
It was my choice, and I'm moving on
it's the best possible thing left to do
There's still life after

All the things you want me to believe
I couldn't see my worst decisions
would rip me up and tear me at the seams
that couldn't be
not at all

What does it say about my self worth
That I still can't put myself first?

Well I have grown much more than before –
you wouldn't know
but I don't owe anything to you
It was my choice, and I'm moving on
it's the best possible thing left to do
much more than before –
you wouldn't know
but I don't owe anything to you
It was my choice, and I'm moving on
it's the best possible thing left to do
There's still life after you.
