Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Say goodbye, lose your friends
Make them go, don't need them around
'Cause it's time, lose your friends
Make them go, was never supposed to be like this
[Verse 2]
They were too weak, too prone to break
Their needs too deep, their skin too thin
By now, you took what was to take
Tear it apart and start again
[Verse 3]
So go on
If this will make you happier
It gotcha this far
Do what you have to
[Verse 4]
You've wasted every moment
Of your Saturdays and your Sundays
You're wasted from the boredom
Was never supposed to be like this
[Verse 5]
Like your father said
"Just do what was done unto you, always"
In your father's steps
You'll do what was done unto you
It won't be hard to start again
[Verse 6]
So go on
If this'll make you happier
It gotcha this far
Do what you have to
[Verse 7]
And you're gone now
(Well, you know this would come, and you've left me alone)
And did it make you happier?
(You're lost when you're gone, don't take it so seriously)
It wasn't that hard
(Go on and get goin', I'm fine on my own)
Did what you had to
(It got me this far, finally got it figured out)
[Verse 8]
One more inch, you son of a bitch
Been wastin' my time, always
And now you're half awake, you bend till you break
And make the same mistakes, always
[Verse 9]
So go on
If this'll make you happier
It gotcha this far
Do what you have to
[Verse 10]
And you're gone now
(Well, you know this would come, and you've left me alone)
And did it make you happier?
(You're lost when you're gone, don't take it so seriously)
It wasn't that hard
(Go on and get goin', I'm fine on my own)
Did what you had to
(It got me this far, finally got it figured out)
