Don't put the blame on me
It's you who walked away
Don't make it harder than it needs to be now
I trusted you, I used to be afraid
I needed you, I understand you couldn't wait
I cried for you, and now you see it's such a shame
That I would die for you
When you deserve to be alone
You leave me with no choice but to go on
No, you leave me with no choice but to go on
And I may have made you sad
But here's the way it was
You closed to door on me
I thought I knew you, you didn't care enough
Baby I needed you, I understand you couldn't wait
I cried for you, and now you see it's such a shame
That I would die for you
And you deserve to be alone
You leave me with no choice but to go on
Yeah, you leave me with mo choice but to go on
So don't put the blame on me
It was you who walked away
Don't make it harder than it needs to be now
I trusted you, I used to be afraid
And I, I may have made you sad
But here's the way it was
You closed to door on me
I thought I knew you, you didn't care enough
I needed you and you hey
I needed you and you hey
I would die for you
I would die for you
When you deserve to be alone
You leave me with no choice but to go on
You leave me with no choice but to go on
Hey, yeah, and I cried for you
I cried for you
I'd die for you
When you deserve to be alone
You leave me with no choice but to go on
