When I left sunday night
Something fell into place
I might be losing love
But I'm gaining grace
You hope I'm miserable
You want to drag me down
I hate to break it to you
But I ain't never lived like I live now
I dance with my shoes off
I'm always up for good conversation
Even with the strangers at my door
I jump on my bed, I laugh til I cry
And I don't have regrets anymore
That's what livin's for
You got your mama on your side
But she don't know half the truth
Does she hold you while you cry? Does she tuck you in at night?
And does she hope I'm miserable too?
Well, if you get where you're going
Don't take the memories of me
I don't wanna be the dirt under your fingernails
Ain't it time you washed me clean?
