I thought we were cool
When all along I looked a fool
But I don't have to worry
'Cause now you're gone
Yeah!

I remember all the fights
We had them all the time
All the time you would lie
But now you're gone
Yeah!

The past I will not notice
'Cause I read between the lines
The future's my focus
'Cause of my hope to survive
If you were so superior
Then why am I still alive?

Don't speak to me
Don't speak
'Cause I'm free
So don't go in my aim
'Cause you're dead to me
Don't speak

This song was about me telling my abusive mother that after I moved out, to never to speak to me again, because I'm free!

Faith is like learning to walk; you have to fall at first, but don&#039;t stay down. When in doubt, don&#039;t stop believing.

&quot;Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind.&quot;
