I didn't ask for betrayal
Or for the sudden change
All that's left in the air
Are the silent promises
That had been made.

I didn't ask for words
Filled with hate and malice
I didn't ask for the face I cared for
To spew hate and violence.

I didn't ask to see
The reflection of
What triggered my heartbreak before
To show through his eyes
And scream at me.

I didn't ask to be broken
Over something so frivolous
I didn't ask to realize
That I never should've
Gone after this.

(evol ni llaf ot tcepxe t'ndid I
Niaga htiw ohw I dah tsol.)

I didn't ask for embarrassment
Or for the paralyzing shame
I didn't ask for the regret
That would come after the choice
That I had made.
