Remember me, the one who picked up all the pieces,
Me, the one who's love for you increases everyday
And it won't go away like she did
Remember her, the one who left your heart abandoned, her
Well she's back again and I can't stand it
It hurts 'cause with her tears all glistening,
She's got you listening to her promises
Well, remember this...
I didn't have to leave you to love you
I didn't have to lose you first to want you more than ever
I didn't have to leave you to love you
I didn't have to see if I could tear your world apart,
And still win back your heart
I didn't have to leave you to love you,
I loved you from the start
You know me, I only want what's best for you
And I'd leave, if you really wanted me to
But if I say that I don't want to stay,
It would be right
You know her, and she knows how to get to you
Oh the nerve, she's offering her bed to you
And what's worse, is that she knows you started over
But she still insists you owe her...one more try
Well, I knew...
I didn't have to leave you to love you
I didn't have to lose you first to want you more than ever
I didn't have to leave you to love you
I didn't have to see if I could tear your world apart,
And still win back your heart
I didn't have to leave you to love you,
I loved you from the start
