Lyrics
It's official
everything must go
It's a blue light special
on the life we used to know
All the secrets
you swept under the rug
You can have them back now
find yourself another drug
Will all your part-time friends you call
be there to catch you when you fall
or will they just hang up on you
when you tell them all the news
Taking out the trash
cleaning out my life
throwing all your bullshit out the window
And it just feels so damn right
Pack up all your lies
and take them out the door
don't forget your ego and your pride
I don't need them anymore
I'm taking out the trash
It's amazing
woke up just in time
Was I going crazy
or was I going blind
Had I known then
all things I know today
would've kept on walking
would've looked the other way
When all your games are getting old
you're chilly kisses leave me cold
You build a world that's made of glass
Now it's come down with a crash
I’m taking out the trash
cleaning out my life
throwing all your bullshit out the window
And it just feels so damn right
So pack up all your lies
and take them out the door
don't forget your ego and your pride
I don't need them anymore
I'm taking out the trash
Cleaning out my life
All your alibis
and your lame ass lies
Know that I could see the truth in your eyes
Coming in the door at a quarter to three
Telling me a story that I'll never believe
Leaving your food on the table
and your clothes on the stairs
the smell of your cheap perfume everywhere
there’d be crumbs in my bed
crazy thoughts in my head
talking all night til my cell phone’s dead
Will all your part-time friends you call
be there to catch you when you fall
or will they just hang up on you
when you tell them all the news
I’m taking out the trash
cleaning out my life
throwing all your bullshit out the window
And it just feels so damn right
Pack up all your lies
take them out the door
don't forget your ego and your pride
I don't need them anymore
I'm taking out the trash
Cleaning out my life
Cause I don't need them anymore
Taking out the trash
throwing all your bullshit out the window
And it just feels so damn right
