"I can't be with you anymore."
My words fell like a death sentence
upon her ears, I know those words
could slay but they came out anyway
I watched the tears roll from your eyes
as you struggled with your shoes
and walked outside to your truck
I watched as you tried once, twice, thrice
to extricate youself from my world
formerly the world of love
now the world of sorrow, I'm sorry
I told you i never wanted to hurt you
and now that I have I feel souless
I feel bare yet no tears will grace my cheek
at this parting of ways, this crossroads
I gave you over eleven months of my time
you taught me how to be with one alone
but another came and showed me light
from a brilliant smile and deep eyes
I made my choice for the good of you
It was killing you, It was killing me
It killed what was formerly "US"
It awakened a passion that I had lost
I found it away from you
Will you ever see that this was the best thing?
I'm sorry I hurt you, I feel like scum
You're better than I ever hope to be
You're the strong one..not me
Your love is big enough to help
another who like me was lost
You found me and taught me I was special
That mysterious girl from english class
is gone I lost her when I took her for granted
I thought our love was alive, I was wrong
The idea was alive but I stopped loving you
when my eyes began to wander, I don't deserve you
Move on to a man who appreciates you
I couldn't find enough love to give you
