So maybe I've broken you, And baby I'm sorry, But honey I couldn't continue, With the lies I told myself, Because it wasn't fair to you, Or to anybody else. And maybe I should focus on, The pain that I was feeling, Or the things I'm struggling on. It wasn't easy for me either, But I couldn't just go on, With trying to convince myself. And really, I was in denial. "You love her, you're crazy. Just walk the line single-file" When really, the love I held for you, Was different, by a mile. But really it wasn't that either. At one point what I thought I felt, I did. I used to really feel, I fell head over heals for you I swear I did. But It left, Like a dead-beat dad leaves their kid. And I'm sorry for that. And so maybe I've broken you, And baby I know I'm sorry. But truly I'm broken, too, And I have no right to be. Because baby I've really broken you, And it's broken me to know it was me who hurt you.

Maybe I've Broken You (And Baby I'm Sorry)
So maybe I've broken you, And baby I'm sorry, But honey I couldn't continue, With the lies I told myself, Because it wasn't fair to you, Or to anybody else. And maybe I should focus on, The pain that I was feeling, Or the things I'm struggling on. It wasn't easy for me either, But I couldn't just go on, With trying to convince myself. And really, I was in denial. "You love her, you're crazy. Just walk the line single-file" When really, the love I held for you, Was different, by a mile. But really it wasn't that either. At one point what I thought I felt, I did. I used to really feel, I fell head over heals for you I swear I did. But It left, Like a dead-beat dad leaves their kid. And I'm sorry for that. And so maybe I've broken you, And baby I know I'm sorry. But truly I'm broken, too, And I have no right to be. Because baby I've really broken you, And it's broken me to know it was me who hurt you.
Written 12-14-14 Because she was just starting to be happy, and I think I ruined that. Was it the right thing to do? To not lead her on? To break up with her the second I realized how truly we didn't fit? That she deserved better? I believe so. But that doesn't make it hurt any less. It doesn't make the guilt go away. And right now she's a broken mess, and it's my fault. I may not want that kind of relationship, but I still freaking care.
