Hate You For Leaving by Julia Gartha Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Married on the 23rd of November ’99
You thought you’d have forever, but I don’t think you were right
You were always the ideal image of a husband and a wife
Now all I see are the two of you, just roommates, living side by side

[Verse 2]
He made vows to you in front of your own father
Pledging to put you first and care for your daughters
And he works hard you can’t deny
His intentions were good yeah, that was a start
But he vowed to love and cherish you
And I think he’s forgotten that part

[Chorus]
If he isn’t what you need, I won’t hate you for leaving
Let the truth set you free, I won’t hate you for leaving
This ain’t about love, cuz sometimes it just ain’t enough
If he isn’t what you need, I won’t hate you for leaving

[Verse 3]
You sit and wait and just pray that one day he’ll snap out of his deep trance
But disappointment just keeps on knocking
It's the same old song and dance
It falls on you to decide what you wanna do
Whether happiness has a chance
Cause you’re not only a mother, a daughter
You have your own life too
[Chorus]
If he isn’t what you need, I won’t hate you for leaving
Let the truth set you free, I won’t hate you for leaving
This ain’t about love, cuz sometimes it just ain’t enough
If he isn’t what you need, I won’t hate you for leaving
I won't hate you for leaving

[Outro]
And you say you’d have nowhere to go
Spent your life building this home
You don’t wanna watch it fall apart

Yeah you say you’d have nowhere to go
Spent your life building this home
You don’t wanna watch it fall apart
