It was I who bent my pride Begging you to stay Left my self-respect behind Threw it all away Chose to push my ego down Just to keep you near Crossed the line of dignity Praying you'd be here But now I'm the one who's gone With a broken heart, but moving on You return as if it's right But my path is clear I'm out of sight I'm leaving without regret or glance My heart is torn But I'll take the chance It was I who took the pain Trying to comprehend Did it all to make you stay Though I knew the end You walked out without a care Left without a fight Now you're back, pretending calm Thinking you're so right But now I'm the one who's gone With a broken heart But moving on You return as if it's right But my path is clear I'm out of sight I'm leaving without regret or glance My heart is torn But I'll take the chance Gave you all I had inside Lost myself in you But today I know my worth I deserve what's true So I walk away with pain But my peace intact Choosing me, my pride restored There's no turning back Now I'm the one who leaves With a broken heart But no reprieves You return, But it's too late I've made my choice, accepted fate I'm leaving without regret or glance My heart is torn But I'll take the chance I was the one who begged and cried But now I'm gone, no tears to hide
