The Amoebas - Splendid

Now I have had
All I can take
It's time for me
To make a clean break
For nothing else
Than my own sake
'Cos it's my time to shine
If there's a point
I'm trying to prove
It's you need me
More than I need you
Didn't know I had it in me
Now watch me blow your mind
It started out
And it was great
But it quickly soured
In many ways
But the hardest days
Turn into yesterdays
So don't think me unkind
Perhaps you'll thrive
Without me there
Well I don't know
And you don't care
You don't get me back when I am gone
Goodbye
Some people give a lot of time
But you just took when I gave mine
So I will leave you behind
And go do something splendid
I walked away
It wasn't hard
But that's a lie
Putting up my guard
Although I take
A small reward
In knowing that I'm strong
It hurt like hell
To pack up my stuff
And move it out
But I'd had enough
Nothing could convince me
There was no way I was wrong
Some people give a lot of time
But you just took when I gave mine
So I will leave you behind
And go do something splendid
So you've moved on
How do I know?
I heard your song
On the radio
(I'll do something splendid)
It's not that I
Am full of hate
I'm just not fond
Of all your silly games
Perhaps someday
We'll reconnect
But for right now
Don't hold your breath
This was required
For my mental health
And now I'm trying
To forgive myself
