I should have known from the start this would happen   From the moment we went anywhere   If other women so much as looked at me   You'd be Screaming blue murder. I swear   And yet you say that my leaving doesn't hurt you in the least   But even if that's true   You'll do all in your power to destroy me   If I know you      You never once in the time spent together   Even loved me with half of your heart   Okay you gave me the world and I took it   But I was young then and eager to start   And yet despite you declaring. you understand the way I feel   Now that we are through   You'll do all in your power to destroy me   If I know you      What on earth possesses children to abandon fairytales   Are we simply getting old   Or as parents have we just failed      I never stopped wanting you for a second   In all the time I was with you I swear   But I will not spend my life with a woman   Who thinks that love is a state of affairs   And yet you say you're not bitter, we had one too many years   But even if that's true   You'll do all in your power to destroy me   If I know you      What on earth possesses people   To destroy each others homes   Are we really all as bad   As the TV cameras have Shown      You say how much you respect what I'm doing   You say how high you regard my ideas   And yet for years as I stood in the background   You never once let me up off my knees
