Scottsdale Divorce

Don't leave the light on for me
I'm sleeping in the other room tonight
It might be too dark to see
But I really don't feel it's worth a fight
You were right

When I called you back
Said I needed reassurance
It had little to do with you

So go on, and leave me
Go on, and leave me
'Cause, baby, I've been untrue

We tried the give and take
But the past kept getting caught up in the change
We skirt, we bend, we break
And, yet, happiness seems ever out of range
It's so strange

When I said that I couldn't stand it any longer
It had everything to do with you

So go on, and leave me
Go on, and leave me
'Cause, baby, we are through

I don't believe you've heard a single word
I've tried to put across
So I'll say it loud and clear

Go on, and leave me
Go on, and leave me
get yourself free
Far away from me
Why can't you see that we weren't meant to be?
If I told you I lied, baby, would you run away and hide?
See, you don't need me
Get yourself free
Take the TV
Why can't you see
That I'm not the one for you?
