So You Don't Have to Love Me Anymore Lyrics

I’ll be the bad guy,
I’ll take the black eye,
When I walk out,
You can slam the door,
I’ll be the S.O.B,
If that’s what you need from me,
So you don’t have to love me anymore.

When you and our friends talk,
Make it all my fault,
Tell ‘em I’m rotten to the core,
I’ll let it all slide,
Get ‘em all on your side,
So you don’t have to love me anymore.

I will keep,
All those memories of the good times,
Yeah, there were some good times.
So when you think,
Of you and me,
They won’t even cross your mind.

If the wine you’re drinkin’,
Leads you to thinkin’,
That you want what we had before,
Girl you can call me,
I’ll let it ring and ring,
So you don’t have to love me anymore.

Yeah, I will keep,
All those memories, of the good times.
Yeah, there were some good times.
So when you think,
Of you and me,
They won’t even cross your mind.

If you need me to make you cry,
I don’t want to but I’ll try,
So you don’t have to love me anymore.

Songs definitely about a relationship where maybe his wife is putting him down all the time to hurt him, mentally abusing him to the point where he is fed up with her and can't take it anymore. There are many people who go through this, like my wife would always like to bring up the past and would like to try to make me feel guilty about something that happened 5 years ago she would enjoy bringing it up because she new that it would hurt me. She has done this for so long that now I am willing to give it all up the marriage the family and everything I own just so she could leave me alone and I could finally live in peace. She would always talk about me with friends and family so none of them would like me who want a relationship like that? But yeah she enjoyed sympathetic attention and always want everyone to feel sorry for her.

So if you are always trying to hurt your significant other don't be surprised if they give up and leave or do something suicidal because of your mental abusive relationship.

I'll be the bad guy, I'll take the black eye, When I walk out, You can slam the door, I'll be the S O B, If that's what you need from me, So you don't have to love me anymore
