D-DU-UDU
 x 4
 I'm gonna suffer  for you no longer
 I'm gonna suffer  for you no more
 I'm gonna write  you out of my  life
 and shut the door
 You tried  to drive a wedge  between  me and my friends
 You pushed  me to the edge time  and again
 I've been living  in your shade  since I can't  remember when
 Now I'm bringing  this charade  to an end
 There was subtlety and skill in your manipulative ways
 You chipped away my will so you could make me stay
 You soothed me with your voice until I obeyed
 but I'm making my own choice from today
 x8
 You used the tongue of love like a boxer uses fists
 You contained me like a glove or a creeping cloak of mist
 You guaranteed the stars but there always was a twist
 Now I see you as you are - Egotist !
 I've got a ticket in my hand and I must be moving on
 but I want you to understand that from the moment I am gone
 I release and let you go - you owe nothing now to me
 I'm not angry anymore - I'm free !
