Story Behind The Song
Living in a closet of a house with 3 female friends. One of them decided it was time I was gone and I felt they don't know how good they had it and when I'm gone they're gonna realize how much I'll be missed. Didn't quite work though...!

Lyrics
LATELY YOU SEEM TO FAIL ME
CUZ WHAT YOU WANT NOW I SEE IT CLEARLY
NOW I FIND I'VE BEEN WASTING MY TIME
SO SO LONG GOOD MAN GONE
(ooh's)
WHY'D YOU SAY YOU'D LOVE TO
GIVE ME ALL THE TIME TO HELP ME GET THROUGH
YOU'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND
THE BENEFITS OF THIS MAN
SO SO LONG GOOD MAN GONE
(bah dup's)
YOU'LL NEVER SEE ALL THE THINGS
YOU'VE DONE TO ME
IT'S NEVER 'BOUT THE GOOD THINGS
JUST THE BAD
THAT'S ALL I'M GONNA SAY IS I'M LEAVING YOU TODAY - SO I'M JUST GONNA LEAVE YOU WITH THIS SONG - 'BOUT A GOOD MAN GONE
SO I THINK IT'S THE LAST TIME
THAT I'LL HAVE TO - EVER HEAR YOU
YOU'LL NEVER FIND A LOVE AS GOOD AS MINE
SO I'VE PACKED MY BAGS AND I'M GONE
