What About The One Who Leaves

(album: A Heart Is a Terrible Thing to Break - 2023)

Right now bet you're telling your friends
That I'm a messed up heartless narcissist
Right now bet you're drying your eyes
Like you're the only one who's hurting tonight
And there's a million songs
About the one done wrong but

What about the own who goes
The one who's gotta cry on the way back home
What about the one who knows
It was for the best but their heart still broke
The one who's on the other side gets all the sympathy
But what
What about the one who leaves

Right now I keep telling myself
Don't call, don't text, don't wish you well
'Cause right now I'm so full of regret
Thinking did this really have to end?

And there's a million guys
Who would not think twice but

What about the own who goes
The one who's gotta cry on the way back home
What about the one who knows
It was for the best but their heart still broke
The who one who's on the other side gets all the sympathy
But what
What about the one who leaves
What about the one who leaves

You'll never know how hard I tried to fight this awful feeling
You'll never know the hours I spent staring at your ceiling
You'll never know the pain
But sometimes the hard thing and the right thing are the same

But what about the one who goes
The one who's gotta cry on the way back home
What about the one who knows
It was for the best but their heart still broke
The who one who's on the other side gets all the sympathy
But what
What about the one who leaves
