I don’t wanna be the one who is left with a broken heart,

I don’t wanna be the one who is left all alone,

I don’t wanna be the one who brings a sad smile to your face,

So I’ll just be the one who walks right out that door.

I don’t wanna be the one who leaves you wanting more,

I don’t wanna be the one who’s the hurdle to your dreams,

I don’t wanna be the one who comes between you and the life you feel you should lead,

So I’ll just be the one who walks right out that door.

In this life some look for excuses,

Search for someone to blame,

For all the tattered wishes that they once held on to,

For someone to point to when it all comes undone.

Before it gets to that point,

Before you put it all at my feet,

I’d rather move on to a better reason in life,

I’d rather set you free from my chains,

I love you too much to be your scrape goat,

I love myself too much to be a slave to your pain.

So I don’t have to be what I don’t wanna be,

Let you rest in your guilty pleasure of pity alone,

And I’ll be what I wanna be,

The girl who took a stand,

The girl who walked out that door.
