I know you thought we could make it
And I know the blame doesn’t lie with you
It’s not your fault-not even a little bit
It’s me and my selfishness, no matter what you argue.
I’ve known this was coming from the very first day
I’ve played along and you’ve done all you could
Though I’ve always known it couldn’t be any other way
I was never staying for ever…even though I should.
You’ve been the only one there through thick and thin
So you’ll always have a special place with me
In the end though, I’ve let my true feelings win
It’s for the best, one day you’ll see.
