[Verse: Adam Gardner]
Say goodbye, lose your friends
Make them go, don't need them around
'Cause it's time, lose your friends
Make them go was never supposed to be like this
They were too weak
Too prone to break
Their needs too deep
Their skin too thin
By now you took what is to take
Tear it apart and start again
[Chorus: Ryan Miller]
Go on
If this will make you happier
It got you this far
Do what you have to
[Verse 2: Gardner & Miller/Miller/Gardner]
You've wasted every moment
Of your Saturdays and your Sundays
You're wasted from the boredom
It was never supposed to be like that
Like your father said
"Just do what was done unto you, always"
In your father's steps
You'll do what was done unto you
It won't be hard to start again
[Chorus: Miller]
Go on
If this will make you happier
It got you this far
Do what you have to
[Post-Chorus: Miller/Gardner]
And you're gone now
(But you've known this would come and you've left me alone)
And did it make you happier?
(And you're lost and you're gone, don't take it so seriously)
It wasn't that hard
(Go on, get going, I'm fine on my own)
Do what you have to
(It got me this far, finally got it figured out)
[Bridge: Gardner & Miller]
One more inch
You son of a bitch
You've been wasting my time, always
And now you're half awake
You bend 'til you break
And make the same mistakes, always
[Chorus: Gardner & Miller]
So go on
If this'll make you happier
It got you this far
Do what you have to
[Post-Chorus: Miller/Gardner]
And you're gone now
(But you've known this would come and you've left me alone)
And did it make you happier?
(And you're lost and you're gone, don't take it so seriously)
It wasn't that hard
(Go on, get going, I'm fine on my own)
Did what you had to
(It got me this far, finally got it figured out)
