I'Ve Stopped Loving You

I watch through the window as you drive away,
Just like every other day.
We've been shouting and arguing again,
And now all I can do is stare out at the rain.

The crystal-like drops glide down the pane,
As tears slide down my face.
Distance will help ease the pain,
And soon, I'll be leaving this place. 

You can go as far as you'd like and never come back,
Then maybe I can set my life back on track.
The children will forget you and so will I,
It's too bad they won't get to say 'goodbye'.

I know that you'll be back before noon,
Just like you always are,
And I'll forgive you, but soon,
I'll be leaving in the car.

Because I can't let you hurt me anymore.
I've tried to warn you before.
This time we're through,
Because I've stopped loving you.
