Baby If I Go

~Written for a guy that was cheated on

Baby if I go
I won’t have to hurt no more
Baby if I stay
You can hurt me again that way
Baby I’m a fool
To think that this love will last
Baby you’re so cruel
Makin’ a man break down this bad
So I try and I beg to let you go
But my heart and my head just struggle
So I dig deep in my heart to find what’s lost
And wonder if I’m willing to pay the cost
I’ve always said “Fool me once, shame on you”
“Fool me twice, shame on me”
I’d never let a woman break me down
With cheating plans that I have found
I never once lied to you
But you stared at me and played so cool
How do I know that things will change
When you continue to play these games
I want you to know that I love you so
But a little lie continues to grow
I wanna stay so bad, but my heart is aching
I wanna leave so bad there’s no mistaking
Apologies don’t heal a broken heart
Maybe it’ll take some time apart
You’ve hurt me and I want to let it go
But something in my heart says I need this no more
