[Verse 1: Adam Gardner]

Say goodbye, lose your friends

Make them go, don't need them around

'Cause it's time, lose your friends

Make them go, was never supposed to be like this

They were too weak

Too prone to break

Their needs too deep

Their skin too thin

By now you took what was to take

Tear it apart and start again

[Chorus: Ryan Miller]

So go on

If this will make you happier

It got you this far

Do what you have to

[Verse 2: Adam Gardner, Ryan Miller, Both]

You've wasted every moment

Of your Saturdays and your Sundays

You're wasted from the boredom

It was never supposed to be like this

Like your father said

"Just do what was done unto you, always"

In your father's steps

You'll do what was done unto you

It won't be hard to start again

[Chorus: Ryan Miller]

So go on

If this will make you happier

It got you this far

Do what you have to

[Post-Chorus: Ryan Miller/Adam Gardner]

And you're gone now

(But you've known this would come and you've left me alone)

And did it make you happier?

(And you're lost and you're gone, don't take it so seriously)

It wasn't that hard

(Go on, get going, I'm fine on my own)

Did what you had to

(It got me this far, finally got it figured out)

[Bridge: Adam Gardner & Ryan Miller]

One more inch

You son of a bitch

Been a waste of my time, always

And now you're half awake

You bend 'til you break

And make the same mistakes, always

[Chorus: Adam Gardner & Ryan Miller]

So go on

If this'll make you happier

It got you this far

Do what you have to

[Post-Chorus: Adam Gardner/Ryan Miller]

But you've known this would come and you've left me alone

(And you're gone now)

And you're lost and you're gone, don't take it so seriously

(And did it make you happier?)

Go on, get going, I'm fine on my own

(It wasn't that hard)

It got me this far, finally got it figured out

(Did what you had to)
