Over the last three years I kept running back
Whenever you came back I opened you in
I never realized why I always did this
But now I realize where all the stuff begins
You see, I wanted to help you
I wanted you to be healed of your pain
I wanted to show you that I could help you
And that you weren't going insane
I wanted to show you of the past that hurt you
Men in your life that treated you like dirt
I wanted to help you get through all those hurtful years
And that is why I stopped all of the flirts
I really no longer cared about us getting together
I did not have those feelings for you anymore
I did love you like I should but I faked it
And I could never pull myself together to walk out the door
You see, the counseling side of me took over
I wanted to help you get over all of your past
So you could finally be happy and trust people
But there was so much junk and it didn't last
You were still in love with me
But I was just trying to help you
I was stupid for sticking around
When I knew that we were forever through
I know it's a stupid reason to stick around
But I hated seeing a friend hurt for so long
I wanted to assist you in getting healed
And I wanted to show you that you could be strong
So I am sorry that I stuck around through those years
I'm sorry that I never told you this a long time ago
I held on not because I loved you but because I felt guilty
There were so many things that I wanted you to know
I wanted to show you the hurt that you had about your dad
I wanted to show you the pain from your ex boyfriend
I wanted to be the one that could get you through it
But I realized that you are not close to letting yourself mend
So now I have chosen that I really need to walk away
Because you have a boyfriend that will fail again
You have so many trust issues that you are hiding
And I can no longer even call you a friend
