You think that because

We’ve been together,

Went out a couple of times

You can see my pain remember.

How could you leave

Get up and walk out the door,

You said goodbye

You said nothing more.

I never really understood

Until that faithful day,

When I realized you found out

Nothing was left to say.

It only happened once

But it changed my life,

Over you I will never

End my life with a knife.

You never gave me

My chance to explain,

The only time we talked

Is when you called for your chain.
