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
