Breaking Up


I’ve got something to tell you
And it may hurt you more than me
But there’s something on my mind
And I can’t let it be
Things aren’t the same
Now that we’ve become one
You want too much
And the things you want to do
I’ve already done
But it goes beyond all that
It runs a little more deep

You want a part of my heart
That I’m not sure I want you to keep
I wish you could have it
Because I really care for you
But now I’m in this predicament
Wondering what should I do
Should I stay and have doubt
Or go, leaving you down and out
Either way it’ll hurt you and me
Because despite our differences
We were meant to be

And as I solve this puzzle of love
I sit and think about all we’ve shared
Wondering if I give it all up
How much did I really care?
I’m sure you’re wondering the same
How could I let this be?
But now that it’s over
You’re ‘you’, I’m ‘me’, and there is no ‘we’
And regardless of what you think
Whether my reasons or excuses are lame
I love you and my feelings will still be the same
