Your lame excuse is floating on the wind.
It really doesn't matter what you said. 
I know you don't regret that you have sinned, 
For words can't fly if weighted down with dread. 

Could you see falseness in the mirror when, 
I looked at you and could not even see?
I wish it had been so much clearer then,
And I'd possessed the common sense to flee. 

I stayed with you much longer than I should. 
Friends tell me you were faithless from the start. 
Had they let on it would have done no good,
I thought I held the truth within my heart. 

So leave with your words drifting in the breeze. 
My life's my power... this day I will seize.
