I should have known from the start this would happen

From the moment we went anywhere

If other women so much as looked at me

You'd be screaming blue murder. i swear

And yet you say that my leaving doesn't hurt you in the least

But even if that's true

You'll do all in your power to destroy me

If i know you



You never once in the time spent together

Even loved me with half of your heart

Okay you gave me the world and i took it

But i was young then and eager to start

And yet despite you declaring. you understand the way i feel

Now that we are through

You'll do all in your power to destroy me

If i know you



What on earth possesses children to abandon fairytales

Are we simply getting old

Or as parents have we just failed



I never stopped wanting you for a second

In all the time i was with you i swear

But i will not spend my life with a woman

Who thinks that love is a state of affairs

And yet you say you're not bitter, we had one too many years

But even if that's true

You'll do all in your power to destroy me

If i know you



What on earth possesses people

To destroy each others homes

Are we really all as bad

As the tv cameras have shown



You say how much you respect what i'm doing

You say how high you regard my ideas

And yet for years as i stood in the background

You never once let me up off my knees
