“What would it take to make you love me? I’ve asked myself a million times… you’ll never know what you have till I’m gone.”

She finally gains the courage and strength to leave him and not look back. Before she goes, she leaves a parting note to tell him that one day he will realize what he had – and maybe one day he’ll want her to come home.

What would it take to make you love me
I’ve asked myself a million times
What would I give to only have you hold me
What I would give to change your mind

I won’t explain to you why I’m leaving
I’ve cried myself to sleep too many nights
There’s nothing left, there’s nothing left here for me
There is nothing, nothing to call mine

Chorus:
But I can’t give my love if you won’t take it
I can’t stay here with you if you won’t try
Some things in your life I know you’ll never realize
You’ll never know what you have till I’m gone

I’ll leave a note by the phone
In case you have a change of heart
And maybe some day when you’re feeling all alone
Maybe one day you’ll want me to come home

Chorus:
