But You Forgot....

But you forgot:

We stayed together because it was familiar; i guess it was recognition,
just to do the same things again so it was more like repetition.

it was that I wasn't talking you just never listened.
It was the lazy part of you despised my ambition.
Is that what made you treat me so different?
We acted our lives out on a stage, and it played out how the crowd predicted.
now the lies you tell has gotten things twisted

But you forgot to say.....

When things got rough , you walked out the door.
But came back when i had more.
Made me think what were we together for?
You lied to others and yourself about how I treated you,
but I only wanted you to do better because I believed in you

But i forgot to say...
Being with you made me weak, everything I wasn't and nothing i was suppose to be.
Staying with you would be admitting to my own defeat

You said I took everything you were when all did was give,
but you stayed under the influence.
So how good was your life if you have you kill yourself just feel like you lived?

You say you're looking for a man who wont show you that same hurt.
But how can you know what you want if you don't know your own worth?
