My New Freedom

You can go anytime you want
I won't watch if it hurts too much
But if you stay, I promise you I'll be
Better to you, better to me
I've been out
To celebrate my new freedom
With a drink to you
Cause you made it new
And I hate people A through Z
Everything, everything
I know how to celebrate my new freedom
Forget other stuff if I drink enough
To pretend that I got people too
People I know who care what I do
You're busy trying to be nice
I never asked your advice
I know how to handle a situation
How to be discreet and admit defeat
You can go and I'll take what I should
I've been doing okay, pretty good
