Suffer

Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

I’m gonna suffer for you no longer
I’m gonna suffer for you no more
I’m gonna write you out of my life
and shut the door

You tried to drive a wedge between me and my friends
You pushed me to the edge time and again
I’ve been living in your shade since I can’t remember when
Now I’m bringing...

The only four words that I hear
are "the thrill is gone"
