This doesn't come as much surprise:

You've barely acknowledged me

When we've passed going separate ways.

What you've ignored was plain to see.

-------------

But as you change the locks on the doors,

Go ahead, get the paperwork, pay the fee.

Honey, I can assure you,

You'll get no argument from me.

-------------

I recognize the imperfections I brought;

We were hardly a healthy pair.

If I was the weed strangling your garden,

You were the vine taking all the air.

-------------

But as you decline all my mail,

Go ahead and commission your attorney,

Cause, honey, I can assure you,

You'll get no argument from me.

---------------

Perhaps if you'd started a bridge here,

We could have created some path forward,

But I leave you on your island,

While I swim to the nearest shore.

---------------

I am free from all the worries

In a place where I can think and breathe.

I don't know what it means for you

With your new dreams and beliefs.

---------------

But, as you ponder your new future,

Go ahead and blame me.

Remember, honey, as I assured you,

You got no argument from me.
