My friends tried to tell me you adored me,
But I took you for granted from the start.
I just assumed you’d always be there for me.
I never realized I broke your heart.
I remember every lie I told you,
And like a fool, I know where I went wrong,
But by the time I made it home to tell you,
You’d made up your mind, and now you’re gone.
Your note said you were leaving me,
And you were through believing me,
Even after all that we’ve been through.
So now it’s all been said and done.
You’re out there somewhere having fun,
And now I know what you already knew,
Commitment still takes two.
I wish I paid more attention to you,
And realized how unhappy you’d become,
But now it seems that nothing’s getting to you,
Well girl, I guess you’re better off than some.
