I wish you would quit bringing me down
I’m so tired of you following me around
With your lies and deception
I will not listen to you
You bring up mistakes and disappointments from the past
Make me feel depressed
You cause so much pain
Your raging evil untamed
You try to hurt me with memories of my heart once broken
And lie to me with the words you have spoken
You try to convince me that I might as well give up
And that my life is disappointing, just my luck
I’ve had enough of your lies
It’s time to say goodbye
I don’t want to hear another word
It’s time for you to leave
I don’t believe a word that you have said
And all along, it’s the good that I have fed
I’ve ignored you all along, with a sigh
And it’s time to say goodbye
I know who I am and it’s not who you say
I know who I was and I’m not that anymore
I am forgiven and Christ has accepted me
Absolutely loved and set free
So you think you can reign over me
Ha! I can’t help but laugh
I’m no longer your prisoner can’t you see?
The chains are gone, so you must leave
You’ve lost another to grieve
I will forever be forgiven and free
After what I’ve found, I’ll never trade this for something new
I’ve found all I’ve ever needed in him
And to you forever, I say goodbye.
