I’m sorry
Sorry for not giving you
Everything you wanted
For not being
Everything you claimed you needed
For not following
The life plan you made for me
I’m sorry for the days
The days I left you to fend for yourself
Left you isolated and alone
Left you wondering if I still cared
If I was still there
But I’m also sorry for the nights I stayed
The nights I led you to believe I was on the same page
The nights filled with endless smiles
The nights that caused your heart to race for miles
I knew my limitations
I knew my inclinations
I knew I was never going to be
Everything you said you need
I hope you know I tried
I hope you know I never meant to lie
To hurt you, to leave you broken
I only meant to ease your fears
But instead I only brought you tears
I wonder how you feel
If you’ll ever heal
Do you regret the things you said?
Do you regret the things we did?
Would you take it all back to have your heart made whole again
Or was the pain worth it in the end?
I hope you know I miss you
Miss your laugh, miss your scent
Miss your nervous ticks
And your quiet looks
Miss the way I almost felt
And what we could’ve been
Oh what we could’ve been
