Good Riddance
Kharma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You better walk the other way
Let you slide before but I ain't feeling that generous today
You crossed the line
Pain is the price you'll pay
Pay in pain
Retribution, sweet revenge
No coming back from this
No forgiveness
Good riddance
Twist of the knife
End of your life
The light leaves your eyes
Twist of the knife
End of your life
The light leaves your eyes
Good riddance
You thought I'd let it go, you thought shit was sweet
You'll learn your lesson next time we meet
Retribution, sweet revenge
Fuck yourself, the means are your...
End
And when the time comes to end your misery
Don't thank god, thank me
