Want You Gone 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

Yes, I win, and GLaDOS just wants me gone. Awsome song, strong follow-up to Still Alive, and I got my compainion cube back :)

This song could also be a "fuck you" song to an ex. Especially one who started dating someone else only a couple weeks after asking you to move across the country
