Glad That It's Over

Kerry has us singing/writing the blues at Real Toads. I used Etta James I'd Rather Go Blind as inspiration for my blues piece.

Glad That It’s Over

I’m so glad that it’s over.

Thank god that it’s over.

My heart doesn’t have to break

when I hear your name any more.

You said you loved me

so, so many  times,

I got good at believing your lies.

But it all came to a head

when I found her necklace in our bed.

 I told you to pack your stuff and be gone.

I used to cry like there’d

be no more tomorrows,

break down in my sorrow,

reliving when you told me goodbye

and walked out the front door into her arms.

Now my blue days are gone.

I sang them far too long.

You were never worth

even one of my tears.

I’m so glad that it’s over.

Thank God that it’s over.

My heart doesn’t have to break

when I hear your name any more.
