Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You looked so shocked
When I said I'm leaving
But I think I shocked myself
Even more, for what it's worth
I knew right then
[Verse 2]
Appearances can be deceiving
But it feels like I just arrived
In the happiest place on Earth
Because I can breathe again
[Verse 3]
It was just time for me to go
There's nothing else you need to know
There's no point in questioning
Or anything
There's nothing
[Verse 4]
We'd reached a cul-de-sac
And I am never coming back
This is what's happening
And it's everything
Or nothing
[Verse 5]
I'm sure you're thinking
I'll regret it
But in case you didn't notice
I'm a different person now
I became someone
[Verse 6]
There's no point telling me
To forget it
My life's no longer based on
What you will allow
Those days are gone
[Verse 7]
It was just time for me to go
There's nothing else you need to know
There's no point in questioning
Or anything
There's nothing
[Verse 8]
Reached a cul-de-sac
I'm never coming back
This is what's happening
And it's everything
Or nothing
