Better That We're Apart

The hardest thing I had to do was look you in the eye -
I had to look away before I began to cry.
Your expression is imprinted forever in my head;
The soundtrack plays on repeate, reciting the words I said.

"I'm sorry, but I can't do this." was all that I could say -
I knew if I said too much, it would never be okay.
Your eyes held back tears, the tears that I would cry.
At one point in my life, you were my special guy.

But I could do it anymore, I had to be true,
I had to be strong, even though I'll miss you.
I tried to tell you time and time again.
But you just weren't ready to have a girlfriend.

What made it so much harder was what happened before -
After that, nothing will be the same anymore.
I gave you my all without holding back,
But neither of us were really ready for that.

I loved you once, but you hurt be bad -
Even though I laugh, deep down, I'm sad.
I'm not gonna lie, you'll still have my heart -
But now it's Better That We're Apart.
