I Didn'T Think You'D Really Go

i don't know why i'm so quick to hang up
when i know you'll never call me back.
could never be the braver one.
 
i don't know why i told you to go
when we both knew i wasn't that strong.
never could hold back from missing you, baby.
 
i don't know why i always expect you
to love me the way i love you.
i love you like the earth loves us.
 
i'd do anything to keep you safe.
sacrifice my sanity so i could love you
the way you needed me to.
 
something wicked resides inside me
and it won't let me stay quiet.
i need you more than a title.
i need you more than you will ever know.

I would say if he left he has done you a favor. Still the heart wants what it wants.
