Our love affair is bittersweet,
insecure and incomplete,
and I've often wondered why your leavin's been so long delayed.
It's all become so complicated,
maybe you feel obligated,
and out of sympathy for me you stay.
But I would rather live alone than
live with someone who doesn't love me,
and I'd rather have you go than stay and
hold me down for thinkin' you're above me.
Our love affair is so wound up it's best left beyond why,
and if you don't love me,
leave me,
and don't let it trouble your mind.
You waited much too long to leave,
afraid of how I'd take it.
I'm deeply touched by your concern,
but I think I can make it.
It won't be easy for a while,
but I'll forget in time,
and if you don't love me,
leave me,
and don't let it trouble your mind.
