The Falling Out

It was the hardest decision to make, and even harder to follow through
But I had to draw the line, and I had to draw it very far away from you
It was nearly impossible to watch you leave, but without a hint of regret
I promised myself things would be better, and at least that I won't forget.

The best is yet to come; we have many more good times that lay ahead
But the thing is, they aren't good times together, and it had to be said
Because although I was happy, I know that we'll both be happier apart
Trust me, it's not because I didn't love you; I still do, with all my heart.

Sometimes things don't work out the way we think that they should be
Because in the end I always thought that you'd still be here with me
But regardless of what I thought, I still believe deep down this is right
I'm sure that eventually I won't regret it, even if I kind of do tonight.

With everything I did to you, you'll never forgive me, and this I know
I hoped it would end on good terms, but that's not the way things go
After all the times I spent with you, I know now that this is where we end
I understand that I've lost you completely; I know we can't be friends.

I just want to apologize for everything; I'm a horrible person, it's true
I hurt you and I tore you down, something I had never intended to do
But underneath it all I loved you, and I know that you felt the same
This is the falling out and though it hurts, I know I have to take the blame.

Trust me, I'm completely torn, even though you think that this was easy
But even though we're over now, I still wish you would speak to me
I don't deserve it in the least, so there's one last thing that you should know
I will never forget you, because the hardest thing I've ever done is let you go.
