Gone

Well, what do we have here, daddy?
The lights are quickly changing
Will I leave your heart alone
With the phone lines you’re erasing?
What a spineless ending
And who would have guessed
Dear daddy turned out to be a coward?
When I turned my back, you cut my throat
It bled for hours
Was that your power?
You, you’re the lovely victim again
You, well, your heart, it’s breaking and
You are the only one let down
Are you really now?
And soon here, we’ll have dear daddy
With the next one on her knees
And she’s gonna call him daddy
Like the rest of many
How easy it will be replacing me
And what’s that I hear now, daddy?
You’re blaming it all on me
Ooh, another, she did you wrong
And of course you had to leave
And the yes men will agree that you gave it everything
You with the advisers in your ear
You did everything right, it’s clear
You know I begged you to stay around
But I’m gone now
And here’s to you, my darling, leave
You’re stubborn and you’re free, and of course, right
I don’t respect the way you leave
You can be no friend to me
I say, I say goodbye
You, you’re the lovely victim again
You, well, your heart, it’s breaking and
You are the only one let down
Are you really now?
And you with the advisers in your ear
You did everything right, it’s clear
You know I begged you to stay around
But I’m gone now
Ooh, I’m gone now
