today i thank you for going
it's been worth the loss and the cost of knowing
a thing or two about being less naive
more aware of who i choose to believe

i gave you my innocence
and trusted your deception
made all of the exceptions
ignored my intuition
i made you my religion
and you made me a disgrace
you made me a disgrace

the best thing that you did was leave me alone
i'm happy now that i'm on my own
the best thing you've ever done was go away
and leave me alone...

these days your true self is showing
it's a sign of how unwell things were going
every promise was broken every time
since i believed your empty words and selfish lies

i gave you my innocence
and trusted your deception
made all of the exceptions
ignored my intuition
i made you my religion
and you made me a disgrace
you made me a disgrace

the best thing that you did was leave me alone
i'm happy now that i'm on my own
the best thing you've ever done was go away
and leave me alone...

i still sometimes get chills
lately it's fading cuz i'm over the Hill
since you were my first you gave me your worst

i gave you my innocence
and trusted your deception
made all of the exceptions
ignored my intuition
i made you my religion
and you made me a disgrace
you made me a disgrace

the best thing that you did was leave me alone
i'm happy now that i'm on my own
the best thing you've ever done was go away
and leave me alone...
leave me alone
leave me alone
leave me alone
just go away
