I Never Wanted

I never wanted to give up on you 
But as time passed, you made it clear 
That this was something I had to do 
It makes no sense holding on to something 
That doesn’t want to be held on to

I was so used to having you around 
That I felt lost without you 
Who would have known 
That’s over time 
I’d be better off without you 

Now I’m not here to argue 
And I didn’t come to fight you 
I came back for one reason 
I came back to thank you
