Don’t

You say you were tempted

To up and walk away,

Divided by your feelings

And what other people say,

And you wonder,

Oh, is it all worthwhile.

 

Just keeps getting harder

No matter how you try.

Should you accept excuses?

Believe his alibis?

And you know

What you really want.

He says “I love you so.

Honey please don’t go.”

And you don’t.

 

How many stories?

How many times have you cried?

No one can blame you,

They see just how hard you’ve tried.

 

Next time he fills you

With his world of lies,

Tells you he’s sorry,

No matter how hard he tries.

He says he’ll change,

Ah, but you know he won’t.

And as you walk away

He’ll beg you to stay,

And you don’t.
