Walk away from you. You have got to save me! Save me! From being a bigger fool. I give you my permission, To tell me I am stupid too! I show you cold shoulders. But you've never left. You stayed to accept, My neglect and disrespect. My childish ways, Affected our relationship. You were more the adult. And I was too foolish, To notice it.'
