I’d rather you had

Rather you’d hurt me to my face
Than hiding with tricks and lies
Rather you’d just left my place
Than leaving no choice in my eyes

It’s better to tell me you hate me
Than to show me you just don’t care
Wish you had just said “leave me be”
It would have been so much more fair

But you lead me a song and a dance
You never let me know
Without giving me a single chance
I had to let you go
