Katharine McDonough - Goodbye, Ben Lyrics

You picked away at me, like you were chasing perfection
And I could never get it quite right
You lifted me up high, yet I still tasted rejection
Like perching on a circus high wire
And I'll let you go to find a girl that you can fall in love with
Cause Lord knows, it was never gonna be me
And though sticks and stones don't break my bones
Your words will always hurt me
And I've bit back tears too long for you to see
So goodbye, Ben
You lucky boy, you're free
Goodbye, angel, or devil you may be
My saving grace
And thorn in flesh and fee
So goodbye, Ben
Thank God it wasn't me
You're holding out for love, like an impossible lightning
And it never struck, but I waited around
Your hands all over me, until the passion was frightening
Then burying your heart in the ground
And I'll let you give yourself away to someone who will beg you
Cause Lord knows it was never gonna be me
You're so good at pushing me away, so a broken heart won't break you
But I'm shoving off, I'm shipping out to sea
So goodbye, Ben
You lucky boy, you're free
Goodbye, angel, or devil you may be
My saving grace
And dark admission fee
So goodbye, Ben
Thank God it wasn't me
And I'll let you give yourself away to someone who won't test you
Cause Lord knows that was never gonna be me
Ben, I know you don't want to work too much
You need someone who can't best you
But you'll miss my mind before too long, you'll see
So goodbye, Ben
You lucky boy, you're free
Goodbye, angel, or devil you may be
My saving grace
And damned admission fee
So goodbye, Ben
Thank God it wasn't
Goodbye, Ben
You lucky boy, you're free
Goodbye, angel, or devil you may be
My saving grace
And dark admission fee
So goodbye, Ben
Thank God it wasn't
Goodbye, Ben
You lucky boy, you're free
Goodbye, angel, or devil you may be
My saving grace
And dark admission fee
So goodbye, Ben
Thank God it wasn't me
It's over now, I'm free
From your narcissistic spree
And your inconsistency
Don't worry, you'll get over me
