Everybody knows that everybody's been burned
And everyone's surprised
Whenever it comes time for their turn
You find that the heartache is hard to hide
When it's so deep in your back
It comes out the other side but
Ooh, sometimes you deserve it
Ooh, but only if it hurts less

Well alright, I guess I just had to learn
What everybody's always known
I felt strangely free
As I got one last push
From the place I'm supposed to be
And it's a good thing
It's a good thing
And it's a good thing
It's a good thing that I

Made a promise to a mirror long ago
But it's nailed to a wall
There's no way it could ever know
But make a promise to a mirror
That's a lot of bad luck
And you're the one who decides
When your time is up but
Ooh, something shouts
Ooh, but only if it hurts less

Well alright, I guess I just had to learn
What everybody's always known
I felt strangely free
As I got one last push
From the place I'm supposed to be
And it's a good thing
It's a good thing
And it's a good thing
It's a good thing that I

That I love being alone
