I don't know what I'm supposed to do
What I should think
How should I feel?
I wish I knew who to blame
Someone tell me
Tell me her name.
You know I can't be mad at you
I'm not capable of such

The key chain you gave me
It fell apart the same day
Like an omen
for what would happen to me
Two sides split apart
and I didn't see it coming

The love I felt towards you
I thought was strong
The decision you've made
I won't pretend to understand
All I ever wanted was to make you happy
to be that one part of life
where pain can't find you
but somehow it did

I know it's for the best
Perhaps not for me
Perhaps not for now
I care too much for you
to hold on if it hurts
The last thing I want
is to be the cause of your tears

Author's Note: I wrote this several years ago, but never bothered to post it before now.
