Track 3 of the first album:

 

How many times did I tell you it wouldn’t work out that way

Couldn’t figure out what to do and you never knew what to say

You always left me hanging there, barely by a branch

And how many times did you ask for that one last chance

 

You said I should be sorry, that I’m the one to blame

You said if you’d tried harder it still would’ve been the same

So next time you come ‘round, selling one of your lies

I’ve got a single, double – syllable word for you, goodbye

 

Yeah, did you hear me right

Did you see me with the mic’ with the lights so bright

With everybody snapping and clapping to the rap

When the spotlights came in

Did you hear me then

‘Cause everybody knows that was when

The producers had said “let the show begin!”

This is when the people came out

You can hear the whole crowd screaming so loud

All of them shouting ‘bout how they see me

How they see everything potential can be

‘Cause it’s all potential that makes it work

Same as it did for me when with you I trudged through the mud

For miles and not realizing all the smiles around me

Did you think that I would call that fun

 

You said I should be sorry, that I’m the one to blame

You said if you’d tried harder it still would’ve been the same

So next time you come ‘round, selling one of your lies

I’ve got a single, double – syllable word for you, goodbye

 

How many times did I tell you it wouldn’t work out that way

Couldn’t figure out what to do and you never knew what to say

And somehow I always knew it would never be okay

But for your sorry sake, what story do you have today

 

You said I should be sorry, that I’m the one to blame

You said if you’d tried harder it still would’ve been the same

I don’t want to hear you calling my name

I don’t want to be treated like an animal to tame

 

Did you think that with you I’d be flying high

And as far as looks go, it seems you’re running out of time

So if you’re done trying to tell me any more lies

I’ve got one word for you, goodbye

Do you need to hear it one more time, goodbye
