 I'm trying to sleep
 But this pain in my chest
 It's keeping me awake
 And every breath I take
 Feels like it's my last
 I want to be fine
 I want to be sure
 I want to be a lot  of things
 And none of them include you
 I keep telling myself
 I'm not miserable
 I keep telling myself
 I'm better off without you
 I believed that you meant
 everything you said
 Goodbye and thanks  for the memories
 For the pain and lies
 Every time I had to cry
 Goodbye and thanks  for the memories
 I don't understand
 Because it doesn't make sense
 The way you broke it off
 Took away my heart
 Took away all my friends
 I want to go out
 And get out of this house
 But to begin again is gonna take more
 than I think I'd ever have to give
 (Repeat Refrain and Chorus 1)
 I believe that I was
 so cleverly deceived
 By good looks, some charm
 and a brilliant lie
 All the time that was spent
 being used I should have said
 Goodbye and thanks  for the memories
 I want to know why
 you're such an idiot
 I want to know how  you
 can even live with it
 I want to know why I
 should even give a damn
 About you missing me  so terribly
 I'm starting to sleep  a
 little easier now
 Now that I'm over this
 And I've made  up my mind to
 never fall in love again
 With someone like you
 someone so confused
 I just wish I would have realized
 that a long,  long time before I had...
 (Repeat Chorus 1 and Chorus 2)
 I believed that you meant
 everything you said
 Goodbye and thanks  for the memories
