Left Without A Good Bye

I always thought I couldn't be broken
Thought I'd never see the day
The day I my spirit is broken
The day I do anything I'm told

But now my love has turned to fear
As I'm given two choices
I can either love a girl from prison
Or I can disappear and pretend I never existed

Now that I made my choice
I feel lower than the dirt I walk on
Having decided to do as told
By a dad who judged me without knowing

Now my heart is heavy with worry
Now my heart is heavy with regret
Now my heart weeps nonstop
Knowing I've become a coward

Now I listen to songs I normally wouldn't
Songs that do nothing to help me feel better
Knowing even after I made my choice
I'll always wish I were by her side

And the worst part about what I did
Isn't that I let her father break me
It's not even that I agreed to leave
It's that I left without telling her good bye
