Now I Know

You asked "what's the point of regrets?"
And I really couldn't answer
But leaving was the sweetest thing you ever did for me

I took that 2am call after you saw the monster
Shaken by that photograph and inconsolable

I grew sleepy then was never forgiven, no

Now I know
But you were doubled over
I couldn't think it over

Dissolved in a chemical bath
My shapes fade from the photos
First search then destroy reminders
Of your distant past

Friends won't interfere in harmless delusions, no

I never think about you except when I think about
How strange it is I never think about you anymore

If you don't want to get married, don't get married
Sometimes something so simple has to be spelled out
If you don't want to get married, don't get married
Sometimes something so simple must be said aloud

So remember, children, saying good bye
When it's time is liberation
'Cause it frees you to love
