The Metaphor In These Lyrics Is That You Are Trash, If You Were Wondering.

don't expect much from me, as i recall
you were the one who stepped out the door all that time ago
now you've come crawling back to me
i could've told you i saw this coming
the second the door closed
now i hold the key, yet you always come back for more

how many times do i have to repeat myself?
you had your chance, but the moment's come and gone!

you made up your mind, and i made mine
based on your decision, i didn't want to quit you

don't tell me you've changed, because people don't
don't say you've seen the light when you're the source of my darkness
don't say you've changed, no

don't tell me you're not the same person, it's a lie
don't tell me that you won't go home alone tonight
don't guilt me into doing this all over again

you made up your mind, and i made mine
based on your decision, i didn't want to quit you
but you forced me to throw you away
the trash man came to make his claim
so long ago (let it go)
so long ago (let it go)

don't expect much from me, as i recall
you were the one who stepped out the door all that time ago

you made up your mind, and i made mine
based on your decision, i didn't want to quit you
but you forced me to throw you away
the trash man came to make his claim
so long ago (let it go)
so long ago (let it go)

how many times do i have to repeat myself?
you had your chance
you had your goddamn chance
you had your fucking chance
but the moment's come and i'm gone!
