Lyrics
Verse
I felt so lucky with you in my life
You said we were meant to be
That you and I were destiny
I told the world I had found the perfect guy
You showed me love, believed in me
And so I gave you everything
Pre-Chorus
Now I see clearly, you're just a fake
You're wastin' my time, get out of my way
Chorus
I'm not gonna miss you
Don't need you in my life
Let other women doubt you
I'm movin' on without you
I'm not gonna miss you
Don't need you in my life
Forgetting all about you
I'm better off without you
Not gonna miss you
Verse
Go tell some other girl the stories that you spin
See if you can find someone
To disappoint again
Don't need a boy, I'm lookin' for a man
I'll find the one who's right for me
You're nothing more than history
Pre-Chorus
Don't say a word, don't try to lie
This time it's over, I'm sayin' goodbye
Chorus
I'm not gonna miss you
Don't need you in my life
Let other women doubt you
I'm movin' on without you
I'm not gonna miss you
Don't need you in my life
Forgetting all about you
I'm better off without you
Not gonna miss you
Bridge
And if you don't think I mean it
You had better start believing
We're done
And I'm loving
Leaving You
Back
Not gonna miss you ... never gonna miss you
Not gonna miss you ... not gonna miss you
(riff, includes "never, never gonna miss you"
and concludes with "NOT gonna miss you."
