December of 2009
Meeting your family for the first time
I was the first girl you introduced to them
I was nervous but you said I was fine
You then kissed me gently on the forehead

January of 10 years ago
Swearing to each other we won't let go
Felt great when you told me I was the one
Exchanging I love you's over the phone
We knew from there, forever had begun

But I was too young to handle a great love
I messed up more than a couple of times
I'm sorry, the stars are my witness above
But like a withered rose, your love dies

May of 2010
Became selfish and took you for granted
My friends were all laughing at you
But that wasn't how I wanted us to end
It's killing me to see you in shades of blue

Same month of same year
I was longing for you, you're all I want
It's killing me to see myself regret
'Cause all it ever does to me is haunt
I was a fool to waste the love that should've been great

I was too young to handle the love you gave
I messed up and now we're not the same
I'm sorry, I dug up our own grave
But like a criminal, all I feel is shame

Outside your classroom
I sought to speak to you to put things back together
My world was doomed
As you turned down the chance to make our love story better
I deserve this
Even a last kiss
Don't let me miss
'Cause that's all I'd have to reminisce

I was too young to get hurt like this
I messed up cause I was too selfish and immature
I'm sorry, I didn't value what you cherished
Like a guilty verdict, I'm the one to blame for sure

I'm sorry we made us apart
I'm sorry I wasn't smart
To take care of your heart
That made you hate me and cry in your father's car
