about

Dedicated to all those exes out there who don't really deserve anything horrible, but they don't deserve to live amazing lives either.

lyrics

I want to say I’m sorry, and I want to say I miss you
But I won’t, ‘cuz I’m not
I want to tell you everything that’s happened in the past ten years
But I won’t, ‘cuz you don’t care

When you left I thought it was over, forever and ever lonely
But now I find all wounds heal with time
Just like you said

I wish you fortune, but only enough to keep you off the streets
I wish you love, but only until you get divorced at forty-three
I wish you joy, but only if it’s fleeting
And I guess I wish you peace
I sure as hell don’t wish you well,
I wish you mediocrity

Nostalgia can be dangerous, the deepest painful memories
I still can’t look at the photographs
But perspective is a funny thing, to navigate the obstacles
One must try to move beyond

And now I’ve taught myself not to wonder— go ruin your life without me
Curiosity is gone for me
I’ll never look you up

I wish you fortune, but only enough to keep you off the streets
I wish you love, but only until you get divorced at forty-three
I wish you joy, but only if it’s fleeting
And I guess I wish you peace
I sure as hell don’t wish you well,
I wish you mediocrity

I watched your metamorphosis
I used to know your heart and head
The nice guy that you used to be
Is now completely dead

I’ve accidentally thought of you on more than one occasion
But now I’ve learned to shrug it off

I wish you fortune, but only enough to keep you off the streets
I wish you love, but only until you get divorced at forty-three
I wish you joy, but only if it’s fleeting
And I guess I wish you peace
I sure as hell don’t wish you well,
I wish you mediocrity

I sure as hell don’t wish you well,
I wish you mediocrity
