I'll Be a Traitor
Call me a traitor
For walking away
But I refuse
To watch you die
This is me leaving
I’m not coming back
But you can’t say
I didn’t try
Held on forever
In hopes you’d return
But all I saw
Was you breaking
Glued back the pieces
You tore them apart
Now all I see
Is you taking
Call me a traitor
But I won’t look back
Can’t let you see
Me, when I cry
I couldn’t save you
You're already gone
But I can’t stay
And watch you die
For walking away
But I refuse
To watch you die
This is me leaving
I’m not coming back
But you can’t say
I didn’t try
Held on forever
In hopes you’d return
But all I saw
Was you breaking
Glued back the pieces
You tore them apart
Now all I see
Is you taking
Call me a traitor
But I won’t look back
Can’t let you see
Me, when I cry
I couldn’t save you
You're already gone
But I can’t stay
And watch you die
