So Long
Hey Revolution! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I miss you less since you moved on
Made a mess and left me all alone
Well so long
My life goes on with you gone

Maybe soon I'll find somebody new
Maybe out one night we'll run into you
Hope you're all alone
Hope it hurts to see I'm moving on

You never made me a better man
You never made me a better man
You never made me a better man
You just made my life a lot harder

Now and then I wonder where you've gone
Hope that someone out there's doing you wrong
Well so long
Life does me wrong too but you're gone

I see old friends and ask them how you've been
Play the nice guy, honey, I can pretend
I'm a strong one
I get up say so long and move on

You never made me a better man
You never made me a better man
You never made me a better man
You just made my life a lot harder

You see I miss you less since you moved on
You made a mess and left me all alone
Well so long
My life goes on with you gone

You never made me a better man
You never made me a better man




You never made me a better man
You just made my life a lot harder
