Relief

A curse has been lifted, my weight feels so light,
I'm done with that battle, I'm done with the fight,
I can walk in a room without looking both ways,
I can forget your existence most of my days,

I can breath in so deep and I can sing any song,
I can be who I am, now that you're gone.

I forgave you, I loved you and accepted the excuse,
I tried to patch us up, despite the abuse,
I wanted so badly to believe what you said,
Another chance, another try and look what you did...

I made my best effort, I tried to be strong,
I should have just waited, 'cause now, you are gone.

But here I am and I don't care about you,
And finally, finally! We're finally through.
And the world looks so much brighter, so pleasant, so kind,
The darkness I've lived in is left far behind,

You held me down, made me fight, and you knew all along,
How great I would feel if you were were just... gone,

We're done with the awkward and done with the tears,
We're done with the hate and the secretive fears,
I'm done wanting justice and done making plans,
I'm done hoping someday you might understand,

And I realize quite well that you'll "never be wrong."
But it's enough for me that you're finally gone.
