I Did That Myself
We were both looking for it, 
 
 
 
 
 that’s what brought us together.  
 Now we are apart 
 you have it and I don’t. 
 
 You told me that the depression made it hard.
 You told me we should just be friends. 
 I never knew.
 Did you mean friends, 
 and nothing else?
 Or friends for now 
 and we shall see?
 I never knew. 
 
 So I never gave up on you.
 I thought I had gotten over you, 
 but I never did. 
 I still had the hope
 that you would come back to me. 
 I guess I was wrong. 
 
 It was Monday night, 
 and I saw it. 
 You were in a relationship. 
 Those little 1’s and 0’s 
 on the computer screen crushed me. 
 
 That night I cried.
 all those tears that never came before.
 ‘Cause it was finally over. 
 
 I wish I could hate you, 
 but there is no way,
 ‘cause it was all my fault. 
 I should have given up 
 but I never did. 
 
 You were the first to make me feel special. 
 You were the first one I connected to. 
 You were the first one I kissed.
 You were the first that told me I was beautiful. 
 
 But just so you know, 
 you never broke my heart. 
 I did that myself.
