For the last time I listened to your excuses
And I rose, I walked away
My head held high
Now I’m free
Free to live my life
Without your consequences
Without your hold over me
I’m letting you go
That’s what you want
That’s what I need
It would take me a lifetime to say goodbye
So let’s return to a happier time
When we were best friends
Put all this in the past
Lock it away
Safely between us
Deep in our hearts
I’ll stand by your side through everything
Whatever you choose to do
I’ll support your dreams
Your thoughts, your wishes
You’ll introduce me as your best friend
“Since high school, yes,”
I’ll evaluate your girlfriends
You’ll critique my boyfriends
No one can touch what we have
Or know you like I do
All my life, forever and a day
I’ll love you as whatever you want me to
