Lyrics
Cassandra, Leave me alone
Don't call me up on the phone faking sympathy
You're the one insisting we're done
So don't you shift the blame to me
Don't apologize
Don't pretend to cry
Don't be down, Cassandra
You're the reason why
I'll never let you forget
So don't pretend to regret destroying me
How can you regret something you do so easily
Don't apologize
Don't pretend to cry
Don't be down, Cassandra
You're the reason why
You misunderstood me when I said it's your fault you're insincere, so let me rephrase
I was just astonished when you had the sheer nerve to shed a tear, oh I was amazed
So don't apologize
Don't pretend to cry
Don't be down, Cassandra
You're the reason why
Cassandra, Leave me alone
Don't call me up on the phone
Don't pretend to cry
So don't apologize
Don't be down, Cassandra
You're the reason why
