I've spent all my years knowing people leave.

I never thought you were the one who would,

We made a promise to stay together forever,

Somehow I knew you never could.

You walked away out of sight,

Couldn't you at least put up a fight?

Between us two,

I never knew how "the other half of me" felt.

If you never meant to hurt me,

Why'd you shove a knife into my back?
