I've seen the debate of leaving
And the pain of being left,
I will not love like you have lovedย 

I've seen the torment in the others eyes
The guilt in your tears,
I will not leave like you have leftย 

I've seen the all night partying
And all the desperate men,
I will not betray as you have betrayed

I've witnessed the days in bedย 
And the nagging duties,
I will not die as you have died

You exposed me to the truthsย 
While all the same lying to my face,
I will not deceive as you have deceived

It might be your childhood
Your codependency that kills
I try not to be bitter,
I will not hide anger as you have exploded

You've left broken hearts in your wake,
Forgotten faces at your feet..
And then there's me,
I will not destroy as you have destroyed
