[Verse 1] This has gone on for way to long And I've finally admitted to myself The reason I was running in place Is you were holding me back with you [Verse 2] Because of you I know what not to do I have you to help guide me through I'll avoid all of the mistakes you've made But I made the mistake of following you [Chorus] And all you are is a good, is a good bad example [Verse 3] No longer will I be victim Of your a**ociation From this day forward I'll walk alone I walk alone [Chorus] And you appeared to have my best intentions in mind But you turned out to be just a good bad example
