They say ignorance is bliss
Maybe they were right

I see you walk down the hallway
Disappearing out of sight

You treat me just like another stranger
Who are you?

Now that you're gone, the world is mine
I'm free to,

Sleep soundly every night
Listen to love songs without ache
Think straight
And do what I want

I found you on the ground crying
With your head in the clouds
