when you leave

When you leave this time
Lock the door behind you
As morning slices through the blinds
I don't need to reach over to know you're not there
realize all the nothing
I ever meant to you

When you leave this time
Leave your key on the table
You don't need to check on me
I don't want your concern
don't need your pity
And I certainly don't want to hear
You're sorry
I know you're sorry
I'm sorry too
We're all sorry
But sorry
is bullshit.

When you leave this time
I don't want your friendship
don't want a friend like you
I am better than the girl on the side
to your girl on the side
and if you want someone to wipe up your tears
find someone else
I want to be your stranger
Our ties are cut clean
I am nothing to you

When you leave this time
Don't think my tears are for you
They're for who I thought you were
you proved
I have no idea
who you are
alien
an acquaintance
fake
I won't miss you
won't cry for you
and my life will move on
When you leave this time.
