well

i left your life by the side of the road

i got a clear conscience

decoded the code

your bags are packed

you're already gone

and that's the last you'll hear of me

move on

move on

i got a 'for sale' sign and a brain in my head

i have paid my dues

i'm not crazy or dead

i know life is hard

well so am i

don't cry for me

goodbye

goodbye

goodbye

'cause i have laid down my guns and ammunition

you can go now

you can go now

you can leave now

this is my written permission

well

i've been fighting for you for most of my life

i fought as a girlfriend

i fought as a wife

oh

prisoners they say are no one to love

well

i am throwing in the towel

i am taking of the gloves

'cause i have laid down my guns and ammunition

you can go now

you can go now

you can leave now

this is my written permission

so when you tell susan that you love her you can look her in the eye

and when you tell gina you can look her in the eye. you can sleep with yourself

you can sleep with your lies

your lies

your lies

your lies

i'm okay now

goodbye

some do it for the kids

some do it for god

some do it forever but some are frauds

some taste perfection and love the flavour

but don't stay beside me thinking you're doing me some sort of favour

'cause i have laid down my guns and ammunition

you can go now

you can go now

you can leave now

i have laid down my guns and ammunition

you can go now

you can go now

you can leave now

this is my written permission
