I'm sorry:

I couldn't put in my all
Didn't play with a full deck
I pulled aces and kings out of my sleeves
And laughed when you showed a pair of twos.

It is nearly impossible for you to measure up
When I hear a 350 Hp Camaro
Or see a guitar god walk by
And all you can do is murmer about your favorite band.

That I couldn't give you what you needed
That I am selfish and controlled
I only payed attention to you when I was bored
And that my eyes never seemed to stray to you.

I swear:

I really did try (at first)
I didn't want to lose interest
To fall back into lust with Mr. Stairways
To flock to the beauty of a brown sports car's roar
That I did want you for awhile.

I warned you that I was incapable
Unable to give anyone my 100% all
My abilities were layed in the open
I never lied about you
But I did lie to you
And my guilt may not exist for the lies
The broken promises
And the fact I could not live up to my own projection.

But I cannot feel guilt for the fact that I tried,
Even though it was hard
I did try.

Author's Note: This is the best i can do. I know my own limitations. And it is hard to be with someone that you know is not the one you want/need to be with.
