[Verse 1]
Just let me say one thing
I've had enough
You're selfish and sorry
You'll never learn how to love
As your world disassembles
Better keep your head up

[Pre-Chorus]
Your name, your face is
All you have left now
Betrayed, disgraced
You've been erased

[Chorus]
So long, so long
I have erased you
So long, so long
I've wanted to waste you
So long, so long
I have erased you
I have escaped
The bitter taste of you

[Verse 2]
Just let me clear my head
I think I've had too much
You're so disappointing
But you make good use of it
As your world disassembles
Better keep your head up

[Pre-Chorus]
Your name, your face is
All you have left now
Betrayed, disgraced
You've been erased

[Chorus]
So long, so long
I have erased you
So long, so long
I've wanted to waste you
So long, so long
I have erased you
I have escaped
The bitter taste of you

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Your name, your face is
All you have left now
Disgraced, betrayed
You've been erased

[Chorus]
So long, so long
I have erased you
So long, so long (So long)
I've wanted to waste you
So long, so long
I have erased you
I have escaped
The bitter taste

[Outro]
I have escaped
The bitter taste of you

Three Days Grace is a Canadian alternative rock band formed in 1997 and now based in Toronto. Consisting of lead vocalist Matt Walst, lead guitarist Barry Stock, drummer Neil Sanderson, and bassist Brad Walst, the band is best known for their metal-influenced, hard rock sound and clever songwriting.

TDG grew out of Groundswell, a five-member high-school band founded in 1992. With Adam Gontier as lead vocalist, Neil Sanderson as drummer, Brad Walst as bassist, Phil Crowe as lead guitarist, and Joe Grant as rhythm guitarist, Groundswell released one album, Wave of Popular Feeling in 1995. That same year, the band broke up, and it was not until 1997 that Adam Gontier, Neil Sanderson, and Brad Walst got together as “Three Days Grace”.

Working with local producer Gavin Brown, the trio re-worked a number of their past songs and compiled a demo album. After handing it to EMI Music Publishing Canada, TDG produced their smash single “I Hate Everything About You”, which would be released in 2003 alongside their eponymous debut album Three Days Grace through American label Jive Records.
