The Longer You Wait

The longer you wait to leave me
The longer I'll hurt when you're gone
And the longer it takes you to break my heart
The longer the pain lingers on

How long will you prolong my misery
        Wish I could leave on my own
        Cause the longer you wait to leave me
        The longer I'll hurt when you're gone

We both knew that you never loved me
I lied to myself from the start
And we both knew that some day you'd leave me
And to know just tears me apart

* Refrain
