The song that actually inspired my post, it came on shuffle and I remembered what a great song it was and decided to do an original dedicated to more like it! Gwen Stefani sings about triumphing over an ex, hoping they are regretful for their mistake.
Standout Lyric: The contemplator all those years / Now you must adhere / To your new career of liberation / You've been cast all by yourself / You're free at last
