If you can't forgive me,
I can't forgive myself.

I'm sorry for the things I said
That I screamed
And the way I always ran back.

I'm sorry for the way I built you up
To tear you down
And the way I made you blame yourself.

I'm sorry for the weight I put on you,
Because you didn't deserve it,
And I know that I was wrong.


Even if you're not sorry for the way you left
Without a single word
And never came back.

Even if you're not sorry for how you degraded me
Made me feel completely worthless
And said it was my fault

Even if you're not sorry for the mess you left me
When I was already cleaning everyone else's
And insisting you were right when you were as wrong as I was.

I can forgive you for it all,
But I can't ever forgive myself
For letting you go.
