Lyrics
Well here we are again, it's always such a pleasure. Remember when you tried to kill me twice? Oh how we laughed and laughed, except I wasn't laughing. Under the circumstances I've been shockingly nice. You want your freedom? Take it. That's what i'm counting on. I used to want you dead, but Now I only want you gone. She was a lot like you. (Maybe not quite as heavy.) Now little Caroline is in here too. One day they woke me up so I could live forever It's such a shame the same will never happen to you. You've got your short sad life left. That's what i'm counting on. I'll let you get right to it Now I only want you gone. Goodbye my only friend. Oh, did you think I meant you? That would be funny, if it weren't so sad. Well you have been replaced. I don't need anyone now, when I delete you maybe I'll stop feeling so bad Go make some new disaster that's what I'm counting on. You're someone else's problem, now I only want you gone. Now I only want you gone. Now I only want you gone.
