Verse 1:
I can't get through this workday
Without thinking about you.
Still, I must stay focused on the job —
My livelihood depends on that job.
Why do you keep sending me all these texts,
Telling me how much you hate me,
You don’t want to be around me,
You don’t want to see my face any more.
Then you tell me you said those things to protect me,
Because the guy you're with said he doesn't like me,
Don’t want to see me around — he sounds threatening.
But I can’t get through this day without thinking about you.
Chorus:
There needs to be some kind of change.
First, you said you love me,
But you act like you don’t love me.
Something’s wrong with your twisted mind
If you don’t know who to choose —
So I’ll make it easy...
I’m leaving. I’m leaving for good.
It’s gonna hurt a lot,
But I’m leaving for good.
It’s not gonna be easy, leaving you now,
But I must go
Verse 2:
Your family thinks that I’m taking advantage of you —
That’s not true.
They’re always coming around
Trying to find something wrong,
An excuse to say I’m no good for you.
People are always up in your business,
Instead of focusing on their own.
That’s out of place —
But they don’t have to worry any more,
'Cause I’m leaving tonight.
I’m moving to a whole new area,
No one’s gonna know where I live,
Except my job — my bosses swore to secrecy.
Your family won’t find me
Verse 3:
I’m tired — every time I come home,
Something of value is missing from me.
You swear nobody’s been in the house,
Say, “Who would want that garbage of yours?”
Well, that garbage has value.
You let your family come steal from me.
You didn’t know I rented the house —
So when I leave, you leave.
You don’t even work,
So aren’t you gonna be surprised?
Bridge:
I’m starting the car,
I already got things in storage,
You didn’t even know.
I’m leaving for good,
Never looking back,
Not even answering your calls.
Oh, you got me in tears,
Like rain falling down my face.
All that time spent thinking you cared,
When all you did was play me.
All those men in my house
While I’m working to provide shelter and food —
And this is the reward I get?
Calling me on my job,
Asking for money or something broke.
All along, you were giving my money away.
Hook (Breakdown):
But oh boy, I got smart —
Time to go, time to go, bags and all, time to go.
Why you calling me now?
You don’t live there any more.
I don’t live there any more.
Everything you own out back.
You’re not privileged to have anything in that house.
I’m not co
