Song Description

A song about realizing that it's time to break up with a toxic partner.

Lyrics

A woman's eyes can be moved to lies by the heart of a girl
All you want is to sink your teeth in the heart of the world

A shopful of candy, so where do you turn
The sugar's a blessing; it disguises the burn

I met you on the way down south on a roller coaster ride
I rode the curves and I came back down; I was messed up inside

You didn't mean it -- you can't help yourself
But I was only a trophy you could put on your shelf

It isn't right to say
That you still think about me while you're turning away
You have to let it go
'Cause the dark days are over and it looks like the end of the show

I might have really cared for you
I might have turned my back on everything true
But these are things that might have been
We stand up and brush off and move forward again
And again and again --

If old flames died a merciful death I would not be alone
But since you left, all the lights are on but there's nobody home

There's always tomorrow, or didn't you know
I won't be around to tell you I told you so

It isn't right to say
That you still think about me while you're turning away
I've lived enough to know
That the dark days are over and it looks like the end

It isn't right to say
That you still think about me while I'm fading away
You have to let it go
'Cause the darkness is gone and it looks like the end of the show
