lyrics

You wanted more than what I could afford
And you walked out the door to go
As you walked out my heart echoed so loud
That I hope you are happy now

[chorus]
But no where on this contract says that you own me
No where on this contract says that you do
No where on this contract says that I need you
No where now you're gone, we're done, we are through

You can't control what you can't see
Inside of me
Now that you're gone the bullshit stops
And I am free
From agony

Now you will find that I no longer mind
And that karma's a bitch
Bitch in the end
Carried away you start blaming my name
It's too bad cause we coulda'
Coulda' been friends

[chorus]

Now this is my chance to say
You shouldn't talk to me that way
I am not a slave no way
Never was not here today
Called you out on the games you played
Yeah I beat the cards you laid
I will not back down to say
Now that you're gone I'm
Here to stay

[chorus]

Whoa oh
I'm here to stay
