"Left You Instead" lyrics

Always my fault when you're feeling sorry for yourself
You can take that and go to hell
I'd stay patient while you sat and wasted the past three years
Now I'm out of tears to cry
I hate that I spent all this time hoping you wouldn't walk away
Walk away

So what if I left you instead
All of the tables they turned
What if the end of us meant
That you were the one who would get hurt
Bet you'd take back what you said
And tell me how much that you've learned
If I could get into your head and plant the same seed that you did
What if I left you instead
What if I left you instead

Call me crazy when I speak my mind
It makes me wonder was it all about you this whole time
Hopeless waiting for you to change
I'd go ahead and make the first move
Before you make your next mistake

So what if I left you instead
All of the tables they turned
What if the end of us meant
That you were the one who would get hurt
Bet you'd take back what you said
And tell me how much that you've learned
If I could get into your head and plant the same seed that you did
What if I left you instead
What if I left you instead

If I walked before you could stop me
If I left you here laying lonely
If I treated you the way you treated me
What if I set myself free

And left you instead
All of the tables they turned
What if the end of us meant
That you were the one who would get hurt
Bet you'd take back what you said
And tell me how much that you've learned
If I could get into your head and plant the same seed that you did
What if I left you instead
If I walked before you could stop me
What if I left you instead
If I left you here laying lonely
Always my fault when you're feeling sorry for yourself
(If I treated you the way you treated me)
What if I set myself free
And left you instead
