Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Congratulations
For breakin' my heart
Congratulations
For tearin' it all apart
Congratulations
You finally did succeed
Congratulations
For leavin' me in need
[Verse 2]
This mornin' I looked out my window and found
A bluebird singing, but there was no one around
At night I lay alone in my bed
With an image of you goin' around in my head
[Verse 3]
Congratulations
For bringin' me down
Congratulations
Now I'm sorrow bound
Congratulations
You got a good deal
Congratulations
How good you must feel
[Verse 4]
I guess I must have loved you more than I ever knew
My world is empty now, 'cause it don't have you
And if I had just one more chance to win your heart again
I would do things differently, but what's the use to pretend?
[Verse 5]
Congratulations
For makin' me wait
Congratulations
Now it's too late
Congratulations
You came out on top
Congratulations
You never did know when to stop
[Verse 6]
(Congratulations)
