Didn't think I'd be back here (so soon)
Hanging by a thread
Pushing me over the ledge
I so wanted to write you back
(So I could beg you to stay)
But I'm glad to step away
Pull the wool over my eyes
Make me feel safe
And when I act surprised
Then you throw it away
There was once a time
When I'd take it to heart
But babe, I've come too far now
So here's to your "fresh start"
You should have let me know
When you turn to leave
I can let you go
At least I know
If I'm free from you
Then I'm free from ridicule
If I'm free from you
Then I'm free from ridicule
Spent so long as the victim (the fool)
Couldn't take it at all
At least I know it's your fault
You went and made me uncomfortable
(When you asked if I would stay)
And laughed and said I'm unreasonable
My god, you made me feel ashamed
And when I shut you down
You wouldn't take any blame
There was once a time
When I'd take it to heart
But babe, I've come too far
To let you break me apart
So here's to your "fresh start"
You should have let me know
When you turn to leave
I can let you go
At least I know
If I'm free from you
Then I'm free from ridicule
If I'm free from you
Then I'm free from ridicule
I bet you thought I'd bite you
But I cherish my energy
I know my worth
All the lessons I've learned
And all the bridges I've burned
Are part of my history (history, yeah)
Whatever makes you happy
Yeah, whatever makes you happy
Whatever makes you happy
Yeah, whatever makes you happy
Whatever makes you happy
Yeah, whatever makes you happy
Whatever makes you happy
Yeah, whatever makes you happy
So here's to your "fresh start" (Whatever makes you happy)
You should have let me know (Yeah, whatever makes you happy)
When you turned to leave (Whatever makes you happy)
Then I can let you go (Yeah, whatever makes you happy)
At least I know (Whatever makes you happy)
If I'm free from you (Yeah, whatever makes you happy)
Then I'm free from ridicule (Whatever makes you happy)
If I'm free from you (Yeah, whatever makes you happy)
Then I'm free from ridicule
So here's to your "fresh start" (Whatever makes you happy)
You should have let me know (Yeah, whatever makes you happy)
When you turn to leave (Whatever makes you happy)
I can let you go (Yeah, whatever makes you happy)
At least I know (Whatever makes you happy)
If I'm free from you (Yeah, whatever makes you happy)
Then I'm free from ridicule (Whatever makes you happy)
If I'm free from you (Yeah, whatever makes you happy)
Then I'm free from ridicule
