There's Something I Have To Say (Breakup Letter)

How can I tell this to you
Something so painful and true
It's something you shouldn't go through
But I must tell you..
That I don't feel the same way you do..

I'm sorry that it has to be this way
But it's something I must say
There has been a little delay
Because I've been pushing it away

I don't want you to be hurt
But keeping this in has caused such discomfort
Just trying to figure out how to say it
Is taking so much effort

I've told you already
That hurting you would hurt me plenty
But the girl you long for is not me
And for that, I must say I am sorry.

This is not the way I wanted it to turn out
And at this moment I wish I didn't have a mouth
I wish that at the beginning I listened to the doubt
I'm just so tired of the pain, I'm just too worn-out.

I guess I broke the promise that we both made
And the trust you had for me I betrayed
I wish I could rewind life and replay
And fix the mistakes I wish I never made

I am in tears as I write this
And I think of our one last kiss
I don't want to write this but I must
It's just something I can't dismiss

And now I must say goodbye
To you and all the lies
I hope one day you'll find your wings to fly
So don't grieve.. and please don't cry..
