Have Some Pride You'Ve Been Rejected

She dumped him, he wouldn't have it,
stood outside her house all night,
not just once it was a habit,
forcing her to make things right.

Told him she wants him to leave,
he got angry nasty and cried,
he couldn't just let it be, 
rejected mate, have some pride.

When people don't want you, tell 'em where to go,
same if you met 5 minutes, or 10 years ago.
You're someone they don't want to know,
don't beg all desperate "no no no".

You have no respect for her,
you've no respect for you,
she doesn't want you in her life,
but stay is what you do.

Have some pride mate, 
leave, start new

Hello Nick Trim, yes that person should begin anew. You can not force a person to stay if they do not want to. Time to find someone new. have a nice day my friend.
