You messed me up, you truly did,
Now every night, I lie and bid
My heart to ease, my mind to find
A reason why you crossed my mind.
What did I do, where did I fail?
Why did we meet, what was this tale?
For you, it seems, just time to leave,
But here I am, left to grieve.
What lesson here am I to learn?
That love is fleeting, feelings burn?
Or that my heart attaches fast,
And suffers when the moment's past?
But no regret will haunt my way,
For loving you, my best mistake.
It’s left me lost, and hurt, and torn,
Yet in that love, my soul was born.
Am I to say I’m sorry now?
For joy, for hope, for dreams somehow?
For feeling comfort in your touch,
For thinking this was more than much?
I’m sorry that I let you in,
Believed life’s gifts could ever win.
I’m sorry that I dared to care,
And thought, just once, you'd still be there.
