Song Description

An empowering break-up song.

Lyrics

Were I to write you a letter
send a telegraph
I doubt that you would read it
If I left my voice on the answering machine
I doubt that you'd respond
You haven't done very well at getting back to me
In fact I think you've lost your tongue
But I've had an epiphany
And realized that I'm great
And you're an idiot.

I am great and you are just an idiot and you can't see it
I am going to fly away and you are going to miss me

It may seem overly simplistic to state it like that
As though I couldn't think of better
Explanations for your basic lack of respect
And lack of thoughtful words
But you wear a stupid smile
When I see you in the town
Which makes me think you've got a simple point of view
So I'll say again today
I'm not afraid to say
That I'm great
And you're an idiot

I am great and you are just an idiot
I am going to fly away and you are going to miss me

That's not to say I haven't got my complications, things to work through
I tend towards rashness, sadness, melodrama
Ancestral outbursts of anger
And righteousness to boot
But if I'm not my own best champion
Then no one else will be
So I'll detach myself from your opinion
Get to only thinking
That I'm great
And you're an idiot

I am great and you are just an idiot
I am going to fly away and you are going to miss me.
