Lyrics
You were my life to some extent
You were a significant part of my life
My little world and all it meant
You represented my small world and its importance
My only eyes to see it through
You were the only perspective I had
But what could I have seen in you?
Questioning the value of the relationship
This isn't about you anymore
The focus has shifted away from you
You may have been what it was about before
You used to be the center of attention
But I gave it some thought
Reflecting on the change in perspective
It turns out it's not
Realizing the shift in importance
I think it's gonna help a lot
Expecting positive outcomes from the change
Now everything I went through with you
Past experiences with you are now irrelevant
Doesn't have anything to do with you
Separating personal growth from the relationship
Though your spirit lives on
Your influence lingers in the damage caused
In damage that you have done
The impact of the negative consequences
There's a big fat hole in my heart
Expressing emotional pain
And you know that you played a part
Acknowledging your role in the heartbreak
But now I don't intend to make it a trend
No intention to repeat the pattern
It's not about you anymore
The focus has shifted away from you definitively
I imagine that somehow
Imagining distance from the past and its memories
Far away from here and now
Speculating on the impact of time and distance
Thoughts of you might ring some bells
Your memory might resurface in moments of sadness
When I'm sad for something else
Sadness unrelated to you
This isn't about you anymore
Reiteration of the shift in focus
I don't remember what you were in it for
Forgetting the initial reasons for involvement
Oh yes I do, you were just passing through
Recalling your transient and insincere presence
Unnecessary and untrue
Describing your role as unnecessary and false
Once it was fresh but now it's stale
Transition from a fresh to a stale relationship
This tedious and pathetic tale
Criticizing the story of regret involving you
Of regret and chagrin, you were the heroine
You were once a significant character, now diminished
Now you're a footnote to somebody else's footnote
Your importance reduced to a small mention
In a book no one ever wrote
Referencing the insignificance of your role
I'll give you a hint: you're out of print
Hinting at your irrelevance and obscurity
It's not about you anymore
Emphasizing the definitive shift from you
And so my friend, I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go
Formally ending the connection
That's right: you're fired
Symbolic termination of the relationship
Your participation in this psychodrama is no longer required
Your involvement is no longer necessary
Your legacy though will never fade
Acknowledging the lasting impact of your actions
For all the contributions you have made
Recognizing the negative contributions made
Wrecking my peace of mind was some of your finest work
Highlighting the damage to peace of mind
Will you still be so proud of it
Raising a question about pride in causing harm
Now I've written you out of it
You have been removed from the narrative
You once were the star, now I don't know what you are
Your prominence has diminished
But it's not about you anymore
Reiterating the shift away from you
