Lucy Dacus — No Thank You, I Love You Goodbye

I woke from a dream
Where you were trying to kill me
By choking me out
Underneath the old dogwood
So
I see a doctor
Who says
Take it easy
Drink tea in the morning
Water at night
Whoever thought
You'd be haunting me
While you're still alive
Living happily
Bye bye bye bye bye
You used to scare me
Bottle on the dashboard
Reckless abandon
Abandoning me
I swore to myself
I would not follow your lead
So why did
I get in the car
Every evening
Whoever told me
Love is on now
I know it is not enough
Limits were to help on this
Unconditional exploit of body and mind
You are bad for my health you
You like nobody else
Put me to rest
To rest
Say no thank you
I love you goodbye
No thank you
I love you goodbye
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
I love you goodbye
