Left You Instead

Always my fault when you're
Feeling sorry for yourself
You can take that and go to hell
I'd stay patient while you sat
And wasted the past three years
Now I'm out of tears to cry
I hate that I spent all this time
Hoping you wouldn't walk away

So what if I left you instead
And all of the tables they turned?
What if the end of us meant
That you were the one who would get hurt?
Bet you'd take back what you said
And tell me how much that you've learned
If I could get into your head
And plant the same seed that you did
What if I left you instead?
What if I left you instеad?

Call me crazy when I speak my mind
It makеs me wonder was it all about
You this whole time
Hopeless waiting for you to change
I'd go ahead and make the first move
Before you make your next mistake

Oh, what if I left you instead
And all of the tables they turned?
What if the end of us meant
That you were the one who would get hurt?
Bet you'd take back what you said
And tell me how much that you've learned
If I could get into your head
And plant the same seed that you did
What if I left you instead?

If I walked before you could stop me
If I left you here laying lonely
If I treated you the way you treated me
What if I set myself free

And left you instead
And all of the tables they turned?
What if the end of us meant
That you were the one who would get hurt?
Bet you'd take back what you said
And tell me how much that you've learned
If I could get into your head
And plant the same seed that you did

What if I left you instead?
(If I walked before you could stop me)
What if I left you instead?
(If I left you here laying lonely)
Always my fault when you're feeling sorry for yourself
(If I treated you the way you treated me)
What if I set myself free
And left you instead?
