lyrics

I'm writing to you
it's all I can really do
to get through
I hope you're listening
We had a good run
God, that shit was fun
Are you listening?
I hope that you hear me

You got too big for your britches
Now you're just one of those stuck up bitches
So, I think it's time...
I let go you go....
I'm letting you go

I used hang on every word
But now I find everything you do or say
absurd
And there's nothing you can do
to change my mind
'Cause everything you do
is just to cross the line

Yea, you got too big for your britches
You've become one of those fucked up rich kids
and now it's time
I let you go
I'm letting you go

By the time you read this note
I will be gone
And I know this will not stop you
from carrying on
But I simply could not resist the urge
There are some things in my life
I have to purge

And now it's time for me to go
I must admit you really do put on quite a good show
But your head began to swell like a balloon
The "Folie de Grandeur" began too soon
I promise to inform
Yes, all of your minions have been warned
It's only a matter of time
before they drop you on the dime

Yea, you got way too big for your britches
And you're just one of those fucked up bitches
Now it's time for me to go....
I have to go
And I've let you go
