The Favor

Told you someday I'd be moving on

Leave you with our past to build upon

I was sure that you would understand

That's when you made your secret plan

Told me frankly, it's going great

Then you told your friends it's time to change

I was sure you'd always have my back

That's where you wrote my epitaph

You did me a favor, you gave me a gift

You set me free to go in search of what I missed

You did me a favor, you gave me a gift

You cut the cable and you gave us both our wish

Told me it was time for a new face

Someone with a better resume

You thought I was easily replaced

That's where you made your big mistake

Told myself to put it on the shelf

You were trying to protect yourself

But you did your damage even so

That's why I've got to let you go

You did me a favor, you gave me a gift

You set me free to go in search of what I missed

You did me a favor, you gave me a gift

You cut the cable and you gave us both our wish

I found my voice today

I found my face

I made my choice today and I'm on my way

You did me a favor, you gave me a gift

You set me free to go in search of what I missed

You did me a favor, you gave me a gift

You cut the cable and you gave us both our wish

I owe you a favor, I owe you a debt

This I will forgive and this I won't forget

I owe you a favor, I owe you a debt

This I will outlive and this I won't regret

This I will outlive and this I won't regret
