Why can't I just die?

I don't know what to say 'cause everything's changed.
You're telling me that only one thing has changed.
That's not true. I love you. You don't love me. You don't care about me.
You care about yourself. Only yourself. Maybe that hasn't changed.
Maybe that part's always been true.

I don't know. I'm just confused.
I'm angry. I'm hurt. I'm depressed. I feel betrayed.
I want to die.
You took everything you said to me and chewed it up.
Spat it on the ground. Took a shit on it.
Lit it on fire. Threw into a gutter.
And told me you didn't want to be with me anymore.

And then you promise me that we can be together.
And you tell me you don't know how long you're going to take.
But if I'm willing to wait, yes. Yes we can be together.
That's a lie. I know it is. I know you'll meet someone.
And then she can be your dream-come-true. Your princess.
And you guys can live happily ever after, like you once promised me.
I don't understand how you could lose sight of that idea.
Me, of all people, can outlast you in the battle of time and distance?
That makes no sense. I wanted to just lie down and die from the waiting.
And you? You were fine. You were the rock that just said that it was all worth it.
It'd all be worth it in the end. Just to wait a little longer.
Where did my prince go? Where's my knight in shining armor?
Who's going to tell me it's all going to be okay?
Who's going to tell me to not be afraid?
Who's going to be there for me now?
Who's going to love me?
Why can't we just be happy together again?
