Part 1      I understand    Your need to switch the roles around   And despise me for the    Fact that we didn't last   And I'll be your punching bag   If you'll stay in my past.      I understand   To want to have a mature dialogue   Is too much to ask   and I'll be your one regret   If you'll stay in my past.      Part 2      I understand    You delude yourself, and sleep with   A different girl   Each night in order to recover fast   And I'll let you cheapen sex   If you'll stay in my past.      I understand    That we can never speak again   And your resentment towards me   Will last   And I will let you forget me   If you'll stay in my past.      Part 3      I understand   That you will one day love again   And that it's selfish of me to   want to ask   If you can only live off the    memory off me.      So please stay in my past
