Lyrics
I don?t wanna remember
but how can I forget the way you always kept me under your thumb
I know I?ll never miss you
Going it alone no sense of being so dissed owned or rented oh no
And I say hey ya given up on forgiving
I got something to say to you
Moving right along I sing a new song bout how life?s sweet now
I find living is easy
Standing in the shade and there?ll be no rain on my parade route
(CHORUS)
And now it?s Sunday morning
I?m breaking up with you
I?m gone no long goodbye
I gave you so much warning
The hell you put me through
Your friends and then your lies
Red spray paint on the walls to remind you
That should help you remember
Why it was wrong to deny me
of my inner sense
(SOLO)
I know I?ll never miss you
Going it alone no sense of being so dissed owned or rented oh no
(CHORUS)
Oh, Leave it alone, Leave it alone, Leave it alone
I keep telling myself I gotta
Leave it alone, Leave it alone, Leave it alone
