Sorry.
That's all I can say to you.
I know it won't mend your heart,
Or heal your wounds,
But it's all I can do.
I can't live like this anymore,
I can't be yours no more.
I know this is hurting you,
But this is killing me.

When you came to me
All that time ago, I pitied you.
I felt sorry for you, and gave you a chance,
Hoping that a love for you will grow.
Now that day seems like an eternity away,
It feels like an eternity, being with you.
An eternity that seems too long.
Each passing day, I feel so locked by you.
Each passing day, I wanted to break free.
I know this is hurting you,
But this is killing me.

But now, I've gathered the heart to leave you.
I have to break free from the chains you gave me.
I've given us an eternity for it to grow,
But it never sprouted in my heart.
Yes, I can see your tears streaming down.
Yes, I can see that you love me,
But if you truly do,
You'll let me go.
I know this is hurting you,
I can see that so clearly...

But you are killing me.
