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 this charade to an end 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 There was subtlety and skill in your manipulative ways You chipped away my will so you could make me stay You soothed me with your voice until I obeyed But I'm making my own choice from today You used the tongue of love like a boxer uses fists You contained me like a glove or a creeping cloak of mist You guaranteed the stars but there always was a twist Now I see you as you are - Egotist ! 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 I've got a ticket in my hand and I must be moving on But I want you to understand that from the moment I am gone I release and let you go - you owe nothing now to me I'm not angry anymore - I'm free ! 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
