lyrics

You're like a bouquet of flowers
That died yesterday
You're like a rain cloud that's hovering
Over my sunny day

So now I am walking away
I don't need your love to validate me anyway

I have learned to love myself
I have learned I am worth more then your wealth
You've become a sickness
That's no good for my health
You're overrated too complicated
Dysfunctional and inebriated to see
That your love is just not
Good enough for me

You're like a snow storm on a humid
July morning, July morning
You're like the perfect dress but the seams
Already been torn

So now I am walking away
I don't need your love to validate me anyway

I have learned to love myself
I have learned I am worth more then your wealth
You've become a sickness
That's no good for my health
You're overrated too complicated
Dysfunctional and inebriated to see
That your love is just not
Oh your love is just not
Oh your love is just not
Good enough for me
