Let's just leave it to die the slowest of deaths
so our minds won't know our hearts have left.
No affection, no talking, a gaping rift;
No meaningful kiss has touched our lips.
What brought it about?

You had all you've wanted and so much more,
now your shadow doesn't even reach our door.
I've given more than I thought I could give.
I see so little reason to continue to live
this life turned inside out.

You took a lot out of me, showed so little care.
I didn't stand up for myself, I knew not to dare
such a crazy thing as that.  I wanted to talk
about us, or anything, and off you would walk.
It makes me want to shout.

We've been a couple for a long time now.
To be alone?  I'll figure out how.
When should I go and what should I do?
It's strange to imagine my life without you.
It's just not in me to pout.

What brought it about?
This life turned inside out.
It makes me want to shout.
It's just not in me to pout.
     So let's just leave it to die.
