Lyrics – Good Riddance

<- Back To All Songs

Last night I was thinking bout the way you twirl your hair
And I realized I don’t care anymore
I said last night I was thinking bout that glimmer in your eye
I’m surprised it doesn’t move me anymore

Cause when you up and left me the other day, a thought ran through my mind
If a girl like you came so quick then left me another can’t be hard to find
You’re like a dime a dozen, your cheap and easy; a penny on the floor
And when you left me plenty and drained me empty ya always wanting more

Cause you’re gone, good riddance
It’s a riddle why you stayed
Said you’re gone, and you took with you all the silly games you played
You’re gone, good riddance
It’s a riddle why you stayed
And now I see how quickly all those feelings seem to fade.

This morning I woke up with a space right next to me
It used to be filled with someone who could satisfy my needs
But now that you’re gone it’s making my life a little hard to bear
But then I think about the way you left me and I realize I don’t care

Cause when ya grabbed your bags and ya slammed the door, I don’t think you saw me smile
Cause I knew that hole that was in my heart – it would be gone for a while
Now baby, baby don’t come running back cause there’s no more room for you
Ya jumped the cliff, girl, you hopped the train and there’s nothing you can do

Cause you’re gone, good riddance
It’s a riddle why you stayed
Said you’re gone, and you took with you all the silly games you played
You’re gone, good riddance
It’s a riddle why you stayed
And now I see how quickly all those feelings seem to fade.

Oh there’s moments that come back to me, I’m a few shots deep and noone’s near.

And a mirage of your silhouette plays on the wall, it look sos clear.

And I know somewhere out there, you’re lying cold, you feel so withdrawn.

I’m feeling so damn fine right now, because you’re gone, you’re gone.

Cause you’re gone, good riddance
It’s a riddle why you stayed
Said you’re gone, and you took with you all the silly games you played
You’re gone, good riddance
It’s a riddle why you stayed
And now I see how quickly all those feelings seem to fade.
