i can't bear to hurt you
any more than i already have
i know i'll only let you down
as i have everyone in my life
so i must let go of you
of the person that taught me
about the stuff love is made of
the moments i spent with you
i'll never forget
i don't want to give you hope
for a future that doesn't exist
i can't lie,
because i know you deserve better
you deserve someone worthy of the love
you shower on me
and i know that all of my love
will amount to nothing
because in the end, i'll fail you anyways
i know the love i feel for you
is what keeps me alive today
but the cost for it is your heart
and i just can't keep hurting you
because i know you don't belong with me
and i don't want to keep you
from the person you could belong with
and so darling, i must say goodbye
forgive me, for hurting you
forgive me for loving you
for i do love you and that's why
i must say goodbye
but remember this, above all

I LOVE YOU
I ALWAYS HAVE
AND I ALWAYS WILL

i never meant to hurt you...
