I just don't think I can do this
I don't think I can have a relationship
Of course it's not you its me
But I can't just lie to you
I can't just sit here
Telling you I love you
When I know that I don’t
I love you because
Of the beautiful person you are
You deserve all the love in the world
But I know that I will never be
In love with you
I wish that I could be
But I want you to take care of me
I want to depend on you
I want you to always be there
That isn't healthy
It isn't right
It isn't fair
I won't do that to you
I can’t do that to you
I'll never explain to you what I want
What I need
Because there is no intimacy
In our relationship
I don't think there ever will be
Oh but I love you
How could I say all these horrible things
You are an angel and a demon
My life and my death
I want to love you
I really really do
But to love you is to kill myself
We were meant to be good friends
I know that in my heart
Without you I would not have changed my life
(for the better)
You have helped me
More than I could have imagined
I am always grateful
But I can never be true to you
I will always have a door closed
You may never see me open myself up
But I pray
Oh I pray
That you will always be well
You are a dear friend
But our time as more is done
There is simply not enough for me to stay
I love you
I do
I swear on my life
But I could never love you enough

Every breakup is hard bt i like to think about how people are sometimes better off being apart.
