Don't show up, don't come out.
Don’t start caring about me now.
Walk away, you know how.
Don’t start caring about me now.
Leave me, you know how. Go make someone else feel insecure. I’m over you, I’m not hurt. I can love me better than you can.
I’ve changed, you don’t know me, and you never did. You can stand on the side-line and watch me fly, watch me soar without you.
You think that you could be better off with somebody new
you say you're leaving,
Well, if you wanna leave, I ain't stopping' you
I won't beg for your love
won’t say, "Please"
I won't fall to the ground, pleading
In spite of the way you were using' me
Actin' like I was part of your junk and property
Remembering all the times you yelled at me
I'm surprised it got so far
Things aren't the way they were
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then

Don’t start caring about me now.
Walk away, you know how.
Don’t start caring about me now.

I’ve changed, you don’t know me, and you never did. You can stand on the side-line and watch me fly, watch me soar without you.
You think that you could be better off with somebody new

Well, if you wanna leave, I ain't stopping' you
I won't beg for your love

Remembering all the times you yelled at me
I'm surprised it got so far
Things aren't the way they were
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
