If someone wants to walk out of my life, I'll let them. No…
“If someone wants to walk out of my life, I'll let them. No matter how much I like them, if they want to leave, they can leave. I'm not gonna chase after someone that doesn't want me as much as I want them. That's pointless. Even if I do convince them to stick around, I know deep down, they won't want to and they won't be happy. Besides, why would I want someone around that doesn't want to be there? I'm not going to fight for someone that doesn't appreciate me.”
