Tell Him

Tell him I'm happy
Tell him there's nothing he could do
That the time has come an gone
You changed attitudes
That it's just a bit too late for great platitude
Tell him I'm sure, I'm sure
Tell him he's just not right for me
And that this is not a case
Of us taking a breather
And that soon he'll see I'm not right
I'm not right for him either

I'm sorry you're caught up in this mess
It's not your problem to fix
To reach out to you, he can't be thinking straight
To reach out to you, he can't be thinking
I'm sorry you're caught up in this mess
I thought we said our goodbyes
But he's still holding onto a sinking ship
He's still holding onto us sinking

Tell him it's over
Try not to sugar coat
Tell him it's over
It's best to be cut throat
He told me he's sorry
Told me that it's all in my hands
But blind and fold as love is rage
It shouldn't last so long
And the fighting time has come and gone
And now I must stay strong
So I told him I'm resolute
Told him I feel it in my gut
And that I cannot for the life of me remember
Why I spent so long blowing on embers

I'm sorry you're caught up in this mess
It's not your problem to fix
To reach out to you, he can't be thinking straight
To reach out to you, he can't be thinking
I'm sorry you're caught up in this mess
I thought we said our goodbyes
But he's still holding onto a sinking ship
He's still holding onto us sinking

Tell him it's over
Try not to sugar coat
Tell him it's over
It's best to be cut throat
(Oh it won't be easy to hear, less easy to admit)
Tell him I'm happy
