I'm not losing you,
I'm giving you back
I don't want you
Cause you lack things I need
So I'm not going to love in greed
But instead live richly in love
Because I love the lord above
I'm happy with my choice
And now I know that I'm in control
You should've known not to play games
Cause I just think that is so lame
And all you have
Is yourself to blame
I hope you walk around in shame
Go ahead, say nasty things
Trust me I'm not listening
Words from you will never again hurt me inside
I'm going to strive for anything better
I won't ever settle for anything less than the best
