From the sound of your voice I can tell we’re through.
You’ve found someone new.
Well, I suppose that’s cool; at least I tried.
But now please don’t go and waste my time,
telling me just how close I might have come.
It’s no fun.

In the blink of an eye, I’m already free.
But thanks for your time, and the opportunity.
It may surprise, but I don’t really need, the weight of the World resting on me.

From the scorn of your face I can feel a ‘no’.
I just don’t compare.
To those others guys, flying high.
But please don’t you go on pondering what might come of me,
’cause baby I’m just fine, in no time.

In the blink of an eye, I’m already free.
But thanks for your time, and the opportunity.
It may surprise, but I don’t really need, the weight of the World leaning on me.

So please don’t you worry about me.
’Cause I’ll be just fine, wait and see.
So please don’t you worry about me.
’Cause I’ll be just fine…

No thanks to you and yours,
To tough to par your course.
Well, that’s fine with me.
Because I got to write my own destiny.
