Well I fought for you I fought too hard, to do it all again It's gone too far You never needed me, you only wanted me around It gets me down [Chorus] There's been a change Yeah there's been a change of heart I said there's been a change You pushed just a little too far Made it just a little too hard There's been a change of heart I'll get over you, it won't take long I've stood in your gallery I've seen what's hangin' from the walls You were the moon and sun You're just a loaded gun now It gets me down -- [Chorus] Oh yeah, oh boy looks like we finally hit the turning point -- Oh me, oh my looks like it's time for me to kiss it goodbye [Chorus]
