Why I'm Leaving

by Broken   Dec 12, 2006


Baby, please sit down next to me
And look deep into my eyes.
I know this is going to hurt
As I list off all my lies.
All the lies I've made you believe
Over the time we've been together.
I always said I'd love you
And that we'd last forever
But, baby, you don't give me what I need
And you don't hold me close.
And I feel more lonely next to you
Than I do when I'm alone.
You never make me feel pretty
And that's something a woman needs
You never show me affection
Unless I beg and plead.
I bought a little black dress
And got my hair done for you
I got my face all prettied up
But you came home the way you always do
You kiss my lipstick colored lips
And said you missed me at the door
But that was the end of it
As I stood there waiting to hear more
I used to wonder why people cheat
Until I became someone who did
And it seems so harsh and cruel
And it seems to be selfish.
I don't want to hurt you
But I think that you should know
I've been seeing my ex for a while
And he's the half that makes me whole.
He holds me tight and kisses me soft
And makes me feel like I'm on air
When he talks he looks in my eyes
And pushes back my hair.
I wish I could have told you
Before I slept in his bed
But what I've done can be taken back
And I'm kind of glad I did.
Cheating made me feel like a woman
And feel like I'm the most beautiful in the world
He made me feel special unlike you
And like I'm the only girl.
I have to say goodbye
I'm worth more than what you offer
I was the one who messed up
But you're the one who'll suffer.
Grow up and be a man
And treat your next woman right
Then she won't leave you
And you're love will be worth putting up a fight.
I've found the love of my life
And I know that you will too
And I'm sorry if this is really cruel
But it was something I had to do.

    Hi Felica

    I know exactly how you feel. It is sad to come to this place where you have always seen other people going through that and thought I'm so glad that Im not in that position. Its a scary place to be. I hope that your new relationship fly with angel wings:-)
