wake you up with all the things that i still havent said

tell me the ends dont justify
as we're pacing circles around goodbye
then we preface things with "if"
when we already know what the answer is

and im sorry
holding onto the apologies
until i can muster up the courage
to steal your heart and run away with it

not sure where i ever saw the point
in telling you i loved you
in taking you to this point
so i can just as easily say "we're through"

then i told you that i was new
as if we could ever get past the two
the letter
with messy, cursive letters

when i cursed you
to "better"
better than me
the tears i can see

because it was never true
i wasnt leaving you because i loved you
the one who was better was me
and im not sorry for what we couldnt be
