Hurt Myself By Hurting You

Hurt Myself by Hurting You (I'm Sorry)

It seems it was only yesterday
I stood dead before his icy eyes
always believed I was so deceived
and yet...still...I let him...

Full of disgrace, I have not the courage
to gaze at you without blaming myself inside
of being the cause that you backed away, afraid
If only I had told you before, what I said today...

I would have held you close and gave way
I would have let you take the pain away
asking forgiveness of all the mistakes
trusting you with every bit of sad grace
and seeing trust shining back in your own face

Oh and I'm sorry for everything I did
I'm sorry for precious words never said
scars left for everything I didn't want to do
but now...I've hurt myself by hurting you

Just tell me I was wrong, tell me how to change
tell me how to rewrite this life on a new page
without having to erase lessons from mistakes
I can save who I am if you give me another chance
Thank you for how you always know and understand.

And I know I hurt myself
by doing everything I never meant to
and by giving in I hurt you...
but theres no way to say as I cry
No one can turn back the sands of time.

Oh and as you wiped my tears away
held me tight, kept me safe from him
I finally found, he'll never break me again......
Looking into your eyes and seeing you looking back.
