I stopped sleeping so well the night you threw me away
Me and Jamison cuddled, til night turned to day
As our little love nest transformed into a thorny thicket
If I said it was easy, you best believe I was lying
Professing love for my life, you best believe I was dying
Sucking every last drop out of one drink ticket
And it's so easy to say that I'm finally one with myself
That the forced isolation was a milestone to my precious health
You kept the necklace I gave you, I kept the trampoline
Wasn't surprised when you left me for a pyramid scheme
Took the appropriate actions but it's never enough
Now that I'm free of the wrath of your love
I wrote so many songs trying get over you
Til it started to seem like the wrong thing to do
As I looked in the mirror and saw your face in my reflection
No friend that I had could ever stop the obsession
Any cordial little push in a better direction
So you ask how things are, I can't answer, it's a loaded question
And it's so easy to say that the Heavens have begun to awaken
And that the Almighty light replaced the piece of my heart that was taken
But the truth is revealed in the tears in my eyes
The lows always outnumber the few and far between highs
Still desperately searching for diamonds in the rough
Now that I'm free of the wrath of your love
They say time heals all wounds but sometimes time wounds the heals
If you've ever been addicted then you know how it feels
Every lover since you has been methadone to the actual habit
And I've lived long enough to know that a good thing was tried
You don't truly know the good thing til the good thing has died
And then you're clawing at thin air in a last ditch attempt to grab it
And there's an unknown destination and I'm trying to get there
As the automatic time bomb in my throat says a quarter to nowhere
It'll all simmer down like the psychiatrist said
Double the prescription and send me to bed
But the pain won't subside, I need more of that stuff
Now that I'm free of the wrath of your love
Now that I'm free of the wrath of your love
Now that I'm free of the wrath of your love
