The Last Goodbye

I know I've really messed things up
and I'll reap what I sow.
I pushed this situation way too far,
and now I've got nowhere to go.
I'm at the end of my rope
And I know you think I didn't care-
But that's so far from the truth...
At the end of the day, my only happiness was you.
But I lied and pushed you away too much,
I know that's my mistake,
But Baby, I SWEAR I ache
For You

You said I quit too often,
That I gave up too easily.
But if you give me one more chance
I know you'll start to see
There is still some good in me.
You told me I've had infinite chances,
So then what's just one more?
I can be so much different-
Be who I was not before-
I just want to do what's right,
And Baby, I SWEAR I'll fight
For You

I offer you the same old lines
With sentiments that are appealing and sweet
I really think that I want to try
but I fail to follow through every time.
I know I've lied and run from you,
But I know I'm not the same;
And Baby, I SWEAR I'll change
For You

The way I treated you killed you inside
I'm aware of that now, you told me how
I drove a knife through your heart
And made you believe it was your own fault
I cut you with my words
I choked you with indifference
I did all I could to stifle your spark,
I wanted to feel that flame die in my hands,
That beautiful part of you I could never understand.
I know that I fell short and couldn't give you what you need
But Baby, I SWEAR I'll bleed
For You

I left you alone and took comfort in others
I made you feel guilty for wanting a friend
I wanted to be all you had and all you'd ever need
I never wanted you to find happiness outside from me,
Because I knew if you felt lonely you'd never leave my side-
It was my own insecurities, my own stubborn pride.
I cast you away, and now you're gone
And I'll be leaving soon;
But when I carry you with me,
I'm always home
And I'll always love you more than you'll know
But I SWEAR I'll live and die alone
For You

-Lo-
