no more as we once were;

Look at us, my love
We’re broken, once again
And I know I am to blame

For the shame of the past
I’m sorry
And you must know
I don’t blame you
For turning away

What tears us apart
It tears you up and breaks your heart
It hurts your soul
As it hurts what’s left of mine, too

But we can’t carry on living this delusion
Hoping that things could be as they were
And I can’t hope that you could love me
The way that you once did

I came to you
Tainted and tarnished and broken
And you held my hand, patiently
You loved me, ceaselessly

But, I don’t belong here
In your world
And it’s time we said goodbye
Before what’s left of us
Ends in a mess
Before hate breeds
In our hearts

For all that you are
For all that you’ve done
For all that you’ve been
I’ll love you
Forever and always

I’m sorry I can’t be perfect.
