Story Behind The Song
I've seen a few good friends go through some really bad relationships. No matter what everyone told them, THEY had to find the strength and courage to make the decision about ending it. This song is about finding that strength and walking away, even though it hurts.
Song Description
The song represents female empowerment in allowing yourself to make a tough decision to end a relationship where you are taken for granted. Girl meets boy - they fall in love - boy treats girl like crap - girl finally finds her voice and leaves the sucker!

Lyrics
FIRST THERE WAS FEAR
THEN CAME THE TEARS
IN THE COLD NIGHT
WHILE YOU WERE LYING BY MY SIDE
THE MORNING CAME
NOTHING HAD CHANGED
THERE WAS NO LIGHT
LEAST NOT ENOUGH TO SEE
(CHORUS)
YOU DON?T WANT ME WITH YOU
BUT YOU WON?T LET ME FLY
I CAN?T WAIT FOREVER
IN THE COLD, DARK NIGHT
I THINK IT?S TIME TO SAY GOODE-BYE
YOUR WORDS ARE CHEAP
YOUR HATE RUNS DEEP
TOOK ME SO LONG TO REALIZE
I?D BE BETTER OFF WHERE
SOMEONE WOULD CARE
ABOUT MY LIFE
AND NOT JUST THEIR OWN
(CHORUS)
YOU DON?T WANT ME WITH YOU
BUT YOU WON?T LET ME FLY
I CAN?T WAIT FOREVER
IN THE COLD, DARK NIGHT
I THINK IT?S TIME TO SAY GOOD-BYE
(CHORUS)
YOU DON?T WANT ME WITH YOU
BUT YOU WON?T LET ME FLY
I CAN?T LIVE FOREVER IN THE COLD, DARK NIGHT
I THINK IT?S TIME TO SAY GOOD-BYE
