I know I should leave, I know it's right,
But I’m too scared to face the fight.
So I push them away, I start the game,
Hoping they’ll leave, and I won’t take the blame.

I’m not strong enough to walk away,
So I make them leave, so I can stay.
I start the fights, I turn it cold,
I need them gone, so I don’t feel bold.

I know I should go, I know it’s true,
But I can’t find the strength to be through.
So I make them the ones to break,
Leaving me no choice but to fake.

I push, I hurt, I make them doubt,
So they’ll leave first, and I’ll be shut out.
It’s easier to make them run,
Than to be the one who’s finally done.

I know it's right, to end this here,
But I can’t face the pain or the fear.
So I make them leave, so they’re the ones,
To walk away when the battle’s won.

I can't let go, I can’t take the step,
So I make sure they leave me, with no regret.
I scare them off, I push them away,
So they leave me no choice, but to stay.
