I Didn't Have To Leave You

Remember me
 The one who picked up all the pieces, me
 The one whos love for you increases everyday
 And it won't go away like she did
 Remember her
 The one who left your heart abandoned, her
 Well she's back again and I can't stand it
 It hurts 'cause with her tears all glistening
 She's got you listening to her promises
 Well remember this
 I didn't have to leave you to love you
 I didn't have to lose you first to want you more than ever
 I didn't have to leave you to love you
 I didn't have to see if I could tear your world apart
 And still win back your heart
 I didn't have to leave you to love you
 I loved you from the start
 You know me
 I only want whats best for you and I'd leave
 If you really wanted me to
 But if I say that I don't want to stay
 It would be right
 You know her
 And she knows how to get to you
 Oh the nerve, she's offering her bed to you
 And what's worse
 Is that she knows you started over
 But she still insists that you owe her one more try
 Well I knew
 I didn't have to leave you to love you
 I didn't have to lose you first to want you more than ever
 I didn't have to leave you to love you
 I didn't have to see if I could tear your world apart
 And still win back your heart
 I didn't have to leave you to love you
 I loved you from the start
 I didn't have to leave you to love you
