Severed My Ties

Street Justice – Performed by Paul O
– Words by Mark L Berry / Music by Paul O

 

Paul O performing The Veteran and Severed My Ties

Severed My Ties – lyrics

Paul Performing

I said my goodbyes
And severed my ties
She was so surprised
That I’d had enough of her lies

It’s easier to look at the bad at the end
It’s hard to quit a lover and stay a friend

Hard at first to tell her we’re through
Keep her from crying was more than I could do
I knew she didn’t think I knew
That she already had someone new

It’s easier to look at the bad at the end
It’s hard to quit a lover and stay a friend

So go my dear
You’re not sincere
Don’t let the door hit you in the rear
And why you cry
I know not why
‘Cause I’m grinning from ear to ear

It’s easier to look at the bad at the end
It’s hard to quit a lover and stay a friend

It’s easier to look forward
Without the weight of the past
With an eye on the mirror
It’s hard to go fast

It’s easier to look at the bad at the end
It’s hard to quit a lover and stay a friend

So I said my goodbyes
And severed my ties
