What you didn't see in me,
is just a mirror of yourself
reflecting all that you gave up;
all that you gave up in me.
It wouldn't be wrong of you to say
it's too late,
because if our love was an hourglass
your half of time has ran out.
It would be better to forget it
I'm not about to ruin what I have,
It would be better to forget it
don't try coming back for me.
Even though I'll always love you
I'm going to walk away because
I deserve to.
I've spent all my time without you
trying to comprehend
what it is you didn't see in me,
but now I know
it wasn't me
it really was you
and what you didn't
what you couldn't see in yourself.
And I'm tired of trying to get you to believe
that you're brilliant and worth it,
I'm tired of trying to get you to believe
that my love is all you really need.
So it wasn't what you didn't see in me,
it wasn't me
it really was you
and even though I'll always love you
I'm going to walk away this time
despite your efforts of coming back,
because I deserve to
I deserve to.
