Spring Cleaning

[Verse 1]
You gave up and I followed you
Now I scoff when I see someone smile
I’m so black that I’m burning blue
Looking back at year old files
You made rotting look so good
I’m not ready to be in the sun
Because our sun was cool
You took all of our things
But maybe the ocean that I loved
Was simply just a pool

[Chorus 1]
I’m not ready to accept
I’m better off without you
I’m not ready to accept
That I’ll be better off without you

[Verse 2]
I’m jealous of the way that
Your nothing is everything I wanted
And it makes me fucking mad
That you don’t even have to try to taunt it
‘Cause I want it

[Bridge]
And I don’t want to ever do this
Find a new you and get through this
Find a new me and make new things
That I’ll think about in the short years
‘Cause it always ends in tears
But the bird perched by the window
Tells me maybe I can do this
Without you, and without hoping
That we can get right through this
‘Cause we are way past through it
Some things can’t be the same
I’ll see ribbons for the chains they are
And climb out of my grave

[Chorus 2]
I think I’m ready to accept
I’m better off without you
I think I’m ready to accept
That I’ll be better off without you
I think I’m ready to accept (and eventually)
That I’m better off without you (be happy)
I think I’m ready to accept (and eventually)
That I’m better off without you (be happy)
