How Shall I Die?

Should I lay down quietly and let your words kill my spirit?
Shall I drown in tears you made me cry?
Shall I hold my breath, knowing the truth doesn't exist in your world?
How Shall I Die?

Should I continue to depend on strangers to comfort me?
Should I jump from the window in hopes that I'll fly?
Should I ignore all the signs?
How Shall I Die?

If you wanted to you could cure me
But that would mean you'd have to be true
And of course that would mean sacrifice
Which is something you're too selfish to do.

So instead of waiting for you, I'll disappear from your world
I'll make it easy for you to get on with your life
I'll let you make up the story of what to tell our friends
I'll let you decide how I shall die.

That right there was deep. Are you basically saying that you won't explain yourself to others why you moved on, and you'll just let him explain it to folks so he won't be embarrassed about it? Cause girl, you know he was a fool to let you slip away.
