I know I'll never be perfect
I can't do anything right
It kills me to know you're hurting
That's why my life's ending tonight
Just so you know, it's not your fault
You never did anything wrong
For awhile you made me feel real
You made it seem like I really belonged
But I guess I didn't deserve you
And it tears me up inside
You didn't think that you could trust me
With a past you chose to hide
I wish you would've told me
That way I could've seen
You never meant to hurt me
So I wouldn't have said things I didn't mean
Everything you've been through
I wish it had happened to me
So you didn't have to feel the pain
So you could actually be happy
I want to take all your tears away
So you'd never have to cry
I want to switch pasts with you
So inside you didn't die
Your name's been carved into my heart
Your initials into my wrist
Just to have for a moment some pain
That might compare to your life's aching twist
I'd tear my beating heart out
And rip apart my soul
To see you smile one last time
Before I have to go
And maybe that's too much to ask
So I'll just let it slide
I hope you find somebody else
Who can break the mask you hide behind
There's a thin black line spreading us apart
I only wish that you could see
We've both changed in so many ways
We're not the same as we used to be
I can't tell if it's for the better
It may be for the worse
I guess we'll know when we see my coffin
Carried by that jet black hearse
I don't want to leave you
But I know that I can't stay
I'm the one who caused all your hurt
I made you feel this way
There's so much I want to tell you
But I'm running out of time
I guess I'll just thank you
For the while you were mine
