She calls me just to say
Sorry for the way
I've ignored you for so long
And now, I feel so wrong
So full of shame, so to blame,
So, so long
I would not hold it against you
If you decided
That you should
Hate me the way
That I almost hate myself
And if you don't, I don't know why
But today,
I wanted to make sure that you're ok
Even though
I don't know how to talk to you
Or what to say
You were my everything
But now, you're nothing more
I have to get my life straight
Figure out how to take
So many things that I've done wrong
And use them to improve
But I can't tell you
Exactly how I feel
About the man that replaced you
I need him more and love you less
I confess that this mess I've left
Is all my fault
And from my selfishness
I wish you all the best
So you take care
And leave me here, I'll leave you there
What words we wish we never spoke
At least I wish we could take back
But that's the joke
That has left me so unsure
If none of it was meant
I would not have spent all this time
Waiting for something that I used to have
And want back forevermore
Just a few easy statements made
Could break me down and take away
All hope I might have had
To make a happy ending out of
Something so sorry, so sad
Maybe one day,
We'll both be so better that we can say
It was just a way to learn
That we needed more than
A fire that forgot to burn
And it was worth it all the way
To be where we are and where we'd like to stay
Facing forward, never regretting or forgetting
But holding on yet letting go
Getting to a point where I might say no
If she tries to walk back in
And take me for a game to play that I can't win
I never want to hear those words again
You were my everything
But now, you're nothing more
I have to get my life straight
Find somewhere to begin
Figure out how to take
So many things that I've done wrong
And use them to improve
But I can't tell you
What you no longer mean to me
Exactly how I feel
About the man that replaced you
I need him more and love you less
I confess that this mess I've left
Is all my fault
And from my selfishness
And that's the way it has to be
I wish you all the best
So you take care
And leave me here, I'll leave you there
Sometimes, the tears are torturously tangling me in
Turning all the occasions and abrasions in my head
Into something I stand to still
Believe is very real
Though it is gone and almost left me here for dead
If I could just forget all those words she said
You were my everything
But now, you're nothing more
I have to get my life straight
Figure out how to take
So many things that I've done wrong
And use them to improve
But I can't tell you
Exactly how I feel
About the man that replaced you
I need him more and love you less
I confess that this mess I've left
Is all my fault
And from my selfishness
I wish you all the best
So you take care
And leave me here, I'll leave you there
If you leave me alone, I can just leave you there
