I Thank God Everyday that You're Gone

It’s good to know

That some things go

In one ear and out the other

For all the “I love yous” we said

I barely can recall

I just know every night and dawn

On my knees, I thank God you’re gone

And that I’ve been freed

 

I’ve wasted my time

Trying to love you

Attempting to melt your cold soul

No more illness

It’s game over

Done being played for a fool

 

I’ve walked on all the worlds eggshells

Hens can’t lay as fast as you lay down the rules

No more nights of hell

Now I know how fast my car tires can roll

 

You’ve found in me

I know, a true love

That I hope, again you’ll never get

Cause you can’t handle it- for you it’s too much

With your cold heart it don’t set

 

I let your door hit me hard in the ass

Leaving a mark-red- so I don’t forget

How much my emotions you’ve harassed

And caused my mind to fret

Now when someone mentions your name

I simply sigh and yawn

And everyday, with my head bowed low

Thank the Lord above you’re gone
