Story Behind The Song

A new a nice young lady who told me one day that she was leaving work for good on Friday. Actually leaving the country, her partner didn't know, he was just going to find out when he got home. Apparently she had had enough and was never coming back. Ouch!

Song Description

Finally had enough of this very bad relationship. I'm leaving... check that, I have left.

Lyrics

Chorus
I no longer care what you want or how this all pans out
Keep all you've taken from me including my youthful disposition
Eh! You listen to me, cos I want you to hear from my mouth
Why?! I, I'm escaping from you to reclaim my God-given freedom
VERSE 1
- Sitting all by myself next to you on the lounge
Gagged and bound, hand and foot by the spoken vows
Ridiculed and mocked, scorned and teased by the echoing sounds
Of my voice say'n "I do". Friends and family gather 'round.
- All are witness to the beginning of the end
So much for hooking up with my best friend
- Carefully crafted words designed not to offend
Try to love a lot. A lot of times it's just a pretense
Pre-Chorus
I I I (just gotta do) I I I (just what I wanna do)
I I I (just gotta be) I I I (just what I want to be)
Chorus





Verse 2
- Tried to tough it out but I wasn't tough enough
- - You played it awful tough now I'm calling your bluff
Often off the cuff, belligerent abrupt. What's up?
But my flight's confirmed so I don't care all that much
- Now you won't know when or where. I think it's best
- You'll just know I've finally disappeared
- Bottled up despair, business class affair a little cold but fair
Good bye, God speed, good luck to you and your cold and vacant stare
