My mother was engaged six times. Once she threw her ring. But then she married my dad
I walk away, I will not look back,
I have just thrown your ring at you.
I will not look back,
will not say sorry
even though I am.

I can not see clearly; my eyes
tear-filled will not reflect
again your love.
I walk out of your life.
Even though I'm wrong!

I will not let myself feel your pain,
and mine I will choke down, ignore.
I will not admit,
will not look back
Because of pride I've thrown our love away.
