How Can You Leave

I'm far better off without you,
I'm too naive to believe,
such a sad ending, true,
How can you get up and leave?

My heart was in your hands,
my hands were on your head,
Why can't you understand,
I'd rather love you instead.

Time passes without you,
more time begins I miss you more,
were all those lies the truth,
I've fallen, broken on the floor.
