I don't have to tell you

I tore up that letter, you wrote me.
With every shred, I set us free.
I burned the remain's, of whatever we shared together.
I lost me, that night, there will never be a forever.
Countless days, I ached for what you couldn't give me.
Countless nights, alone, I lay in my bed, because the man I needed, you just couldn't be.

Now I walk this road alone
Oh how I have grown.
I realized that it's not your fault, you couldn't be what I needed in my life.
You suffered so much sorrow, and lived through strife.
For that I could never be your wife.
The lies you told me, still sit in my head.
It's not what you did, but what you had said.

Now you wake up every morning, wondering what you did wrong.
Now that you are not self medicated anymore, you are strong.
I don't have to tell you what you did, to make me open my eyes.
I don't have to tell you why I said " good-bye."
I don't have to wake up every morning and cry.
I don't have to put up with all of your lies.
I don't have to tell you why I said goodbye.
