Well I'm not saying that I don't need the help
And I'm not saying that I can do it by myself
But I know I've got to try and more importantly
I want to try because you're too important to me
Well I know I've got to learn to get everything out
Without you always dragging me down
You've been around so long and I know all these goddamn songs
Were written by me
So long
No, I'm not saying that this time it's real
That now I'm strong enough to fight, suffer, and heal, no
I'm not saying that I even stand a chance
But I know if I don't try I'll never stand, never stand, never stand a chance
Well I know I've got to learn to get everything out
Without you always dragging me down
You've been around so long and I know all these goddamn songs
Were written by me
So long
So I guess I'm saying I'm trying my best
To finally get my shit together and put it all to rest
I guess I'm saying, when all is said and done
I've loved you deeply but our time has come
Well I know I've got to learn to get everything out
Without you always dragging me down
You've been around so long and I know all these goddamn songs
Were written by me
So long
Maybe I don't need you after all
