Why stay with someone if you're not happy?

lyrics

Become A Virtue

I turn the lock on everything I own.
It turns out to be not much more than flesh and bone.
The apex of booze and blues
Is not a dunce without a safety cone
But a drunk driving with tunnel vision
In a danger zone.
The outcome undetermined
But not unknown.

Fuck me,
It wasn't chivalrous
To not expect
That I would neglect a little bit,
And not know when to forfeit.
Sometimes
I make choices that I don't regret.
It's one less
Thing to haunt me
And cause me to reset.

Cutting teeth with a dagger
Because love was never clear
You felt the skin of my teeth
Now why aren't you here?
I spent paychecks on a ruse for a muse
Why even tell me you have a phone
If you break trust
Then spade your lust
In a division
Where I can't hear your tone.
The outcome still undetermined
But not unknown.
It's not a small world
It's a small town.
The creature comes out
A depressed absence of renown.

A terrible thing to waste
Is what you have to lose
I could open up
To a different taste
But ignorance is what I'll choose
We set up this illusion
Where our boundaries are existent.
Our neediness to attract
Makes us desperate,
Not persistent.

Fuck you,
It wasn't chivalrous
To not expect
That I would neglect a little bit,
And not know when to forfeit.
Sometimes
I make choices that I don't regret.
It's one less
Thing to haunt me
And cause me to reset.

It has to hurt you
To become a virtue
Anxiety into patience
Learning what lies should be true
It has to hurt you
To become a virtue
Fighting for love
Letting go only when you have to


What do you tell someone
That never wants to be happy?
And why
Why stay if you're not happy?
