Free From You

I cast away my sorrows.
i rid myself of pain.
i broke off all connections
between me and the rain.

if they don't believe me,
then i'm sorry, but it's true.
i'll never have to hear it again -
when you say to me, "i love you"

the summer nights were broken,
full of misery and defeat.
between then and now, i lost weight,
because i would never eat.

the pain of sitting and watching you go
from one girl to the next
was enough to make me wish away
any other feeling or effect.

you knew that it hurt me,
but, still, you stayed the same.
you never did anything to help
and it drove me insane.

until it was my turn
to be happy for a change,
then you decided it was time to try
to make everything rearranged.

but when i wouldn't have it,
because it was MY turn,
i swear that i could see it -
you condemned me to burn.

we still acted the same way
that we always had,
but i got tired of waiting for you.
i'm sorry if it made you sad.

you've chosen the girl you wanted -
no one told you what to do.
and i don't want to keep acting this way
i'm finally free from you.
