I wish I could accurately explain why
My voice is telling you goodbye
But it is hard to put into words how I feel
Other than that I need time to heal
Our time together is a terrific distraction
But I can't depend on you for satisfaction
I need to make myself happy on my own
And until I do I have to be alone
Otherwise I am putting off inevitable pain
You are not an umbrella to shelter me from rain
I refuse to use you as a tool
Taking advantage of someone is just plain cruel
You deserve more than someone just biding time
Because you are more than good
You're positively sublime
It was never my intention to bring your eyes to tears
Just to avoid manifestation of my fears
It will only hurt more the longer we wait
No way to escape our inevitable fate
It is not that you are doing anything wrong
I just don't feel comfortable stringing you along
And if I know I don't feel the same as you do
It is wrong to keep giving that impression to you
Obviously there is something wrong with my heart
It was stupid of me to even start
When I am constantly haunted by the past
It freaks me out we are moving so fast
You said you can be patient and progress at my pace
Yet every free moment is spent at your place
Your actions don't match the words you said
I don't want to take up that much room in your head
You are better off without me that is clear to see
No matter how much you are inclined to disagree
This is for both our sakes which in the future you will learn
You give me everything I couldn't possibly return
