Why love just a little bit less I don't know what you're thinking I can't help you decide Did it help you to decide This piece of the picture It just doesn't fit I don't believe that you chose to leave Just remember this And I still love you Not for who you were to me But what you could have been What I will strive to be Just close your mouth and you would see like me Your price of dignity is far too cheap You'll never know you're not here to see And there's nothing left to gain And I still love you Not for who you were to me But what you could have been What I will strive to be What I will strive to be Maybe you weren't the monster You always seemed to be Now I'm left in your shadow Your truth won't set me free And I still love you Not for who you were to be But what you could have been Unlike you, I'll claim my life Maybe you weren't the monster You always seemed to be Now I'm left in your shadow Your truth won't set me free You've won out But you won't get the best of me And I'm worn down But I still believe You're torn now And you're left here to bleed Your safe house Is nowhere to be seen Nowhere to be seen I believe it ends
