It's Up To You

Why is it the people who say they will always be there for you are the first ones to walk out?
With everything I've gone through you've always said you would be here for me
I feel you slipping away
I think I have a right to know what's going on
I guess I shouldn't find it surprising
It's what you do, push me away when you find someone else
Someone who will give you what I can't
What happens is now up to you
But I'm not going to make an effort for this to last, I have enough to do
So you know I'll always be here for you but not if that means I have to be pushed to the
side while you have someone else and then come back when that's done
