Relinquish

I would never keep you here
I would never make you stay
I would never keep you from your path
Or make you choose another way.

I do not wish to hinder you
I want you to be your best
I would never be forceful
When all you need is rest

I want you with me here and now
But only if you please
As much as I want you to remain
I won’t stop you if you leave

All I ask and all I pray
Is for you to have the heart
The decency to let me down
Before you find another start.

When you go, I hope you have the nerve
To tell me you don’t want to stay
Just say that you don’t love me
Like you loved me yesterday.

It’s all I need to hear
I need a clean-cut end
For when the ends are frayed and torn
I cannot start again.

So please, before you turn
To withdraw and break away
Just tell me that it’s over
And feel free to fade away.

      yea umm...this is based on this song i accidentally happened upon...but i thought it went nicely with the ancient and deceased frogger situation. it brought me back...lol. it's me saying "as much as i cared, i wouldn't have clung to "us" so much if you would have honestly told me not to." kind of...like i hate how guys try and lead us on and pawn it off on "oh well i didn't want to hurt you." I'd rather you be honest and let me down straightforward. just tell me you never cared or that you don't anymore and i will be on my way...
