What's It Take

Liars Backstabbers As the people start to pour in Empty halls And corridors Anyone who'll listen I stood to leave Now everyone sees me I know what it takes to leave What's it take to stay here What's it take? Doctors and therapists In the disguise of a friend Swore they'd never leave Swore they'd cure me Who needs to be cured now? Abandon those who leave you Truth is I was never yours to leave Silly me I believed Silly me I believed you I didn't walk because you did I walked because you weren't worth the stay
