Severed My Ties – lyrics
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
