lyrics

I went out last week
And I got hammered
I don’t remember
Half the things I did

Went out again last night with some of my friends
Just because
Just because I could

And I didn’t call you
‘Cause I didn’t have to
Ooh, ooh (ooh, ooh)

And I didn’t call you
‘Cause I didn’t have to
Ooh, ooh (ooh, ooh)

Finally free of your tyranny
It’s like my world revolves around me
Like it should!

When I was with you, I couldn’t be my own person
I was just a shell of myself
But then I hung out
With friends who were girls
And nothing happened
Yeah, we just hung out

And I didn’t call you
‘Cause I didn’t have to
Ooh, ooh (ooh, ooh)

And I didn’t call you
‘Cause I didn’t have to
Ooh, ooh (ooh, ooh)

Finally free of your tyranny
It’s like my world revolves around me
Like it should!

You were straight up crazy
Like Kathy Bates out of “Misery”
I spent most of my time just trying to escape
(oh-oh…)
It was good at first
But the very next day
Your text made me regret, now all I wanna do is forget this

Well that’s all that I gotta say
So, um…Have a nice life
I know that I will
‘Cause the day it was over
I went out
I went out to celebrate

And I didn’t call you
‘Cause I didn’t have to
Ooh, ooh (ooh, ooh)

And I didn’t call you
‘Cause I didn’t have to
Ooh, ooh (ooh, ooh)

And I didn’t call you
‘Cause I didn’t have to
I – I didn’t call you
‘Cause I – I didn’t have to
And I
I’m finally free of you

I’m free from you!
