[Intro] [Verse] They told me that this is a chance to roam I can go now, be closer to my home Said they're cutting back, I'm losing my grip Thirty-three years ain't nowhere near a blip I could have stayed, but that would never work I chose severance, an unexpected perk Yes, took their deal, now it's a waiting game They say I'll be free sometime in May I hope it's a nice clear Springtime day [Chorus] They call it opportunity but it's just pain Already dusted off my resume Was planning my own exit strategy I'll turn the tables on this tragedy Lost my desk, my work, my claim I'm torn to bits, but happy too, it's a game Boss cried when I took the deal We're both in shock, this is real [Verse 2] Gave my heart and soul every day Sweat and tears for corporate pay Now they say I'm free to walk Leaving me no room to talk [Chorus] They call it opportunity but it's just pain Already dusted off my resume Was planning my own exit strategy I'll turn the tables on this tragedy Lost my desk, my work, my claim I'm torn to bits, but happy too, it's a game Boss cried when I took the deal We're both in shock, this is real [Repeat Verse 2] Gave my heart and soul every day Sweat and tears for corporate pay Now they say I'm free to walk Leaving me no room to talk [Chorus] They call it opportunity but it's just pain Already dusted off my resume Was planning my own exit strategy I'll turn the tables on this tragedy Lost my desk, my work, my claim I'm torn to bits, but happy too, it's a game Boss cried when I took the deal We're both in shock, this is real [Verse 3] My boss spilled sad tears when I said yes Tried to laugh but just a mess Heartache hid behind misty eyes Decent offer, I'll sure miss the guys [Bridge] Thirty-three years all thrown away Like I was just there to play Explanations lined up nice and neat Why does it feel like a huge defeat? [Verse 4] I'm sure this is all for the best There's reason at the end of this mess Support and family much more important, yes Goodbye my friends, let's not be stressed [Instrumental Break] [Outro] Ooooooo I'll never admit that I cried too oooo ooooooo oooooo I cried too
