Want You Gone Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, here we are again
It's always such a pleasure
Remember when you tried
To kill me twice?
Oh, how we laughed and laughed
Except I wasn't laughing
Under the circumstances
I've been shockingly nice
[Chorus]
You want your freedom? Take it
That's what I'm counting on
I used to want you dead but
Now I only want you gone
[Verse 2]
She was a lot like you
Maybe not quite as heavy
Now little Caroline is
In here too
One day they woke me up
So I could live forever
It's such a shame the same will
Never happen to you
Well, here we are again
It's always such a pleasure
Remember when you tried
To kill me twice?
Oh, how we laughed and laughed
Except I wasn't laughing
Under the circumstances
I've been shockingly nice
[Chorus]
You want your freedom? Take it
That's what I'm counting on
I used to want you dead but
Now I only want you gone
[Verse 2]
She was a lot like you
Maybe not quite as heavy
Now little Caroline is
In here too
One day they woke me up
So I could live forever
It's such a shame the same will
Never happen to you
[Chorus]
You've got your short, sad life left
That's what I’m counting on
I'll let you get right to it
Now I only want you gone
[Verse 3]
Goodbye, my only friend
Oh, did you think I meant you?
That would be funny
If it weren't so sad
Well, you have been replaced
I don't need anyone now
When I delete you
Maybe I'll stop feeling so bad
[Chorus]
Go make some new disaster
That's what I'm counting on
You're someone else's problem
Now I only want you gone
Now I only want you gone
Now I only want you gone
You've got your short, sad life left
That's what I’m counting on
I'll let you get right to it
Now I only want you gone
[Verse 3]
Goodbye, my only friend
Oh, did you think I meant you?
That would be funny
If it weren't so sad
Well, you have been replaced
I don't need anyone now
When I delete you
Maybe I'll stop feeling so bad
[Chorus]
Go make some new disaster
That's what I'm counting on
You're someone else's problem
Now I only want you gone
Now I only want you gone
Now I only want you gone
