lyrics

Lyrics:

First let me say I truly am sorry
Cuz I know that I’ve been acting rather distant recently
I have some things that we should speak about
But know my mind’s made up though we have never talked it out
There’s not a thing about you that I’d change
I worry something good like this could never be sustained
Cuz I really need to focus on my art
Though you’ve been nothing but supportive one day we'll be torn apart

I feel so ashamed to make you wait
And I feel it now from canceling on yet another date
But I think I need to live more for myself
Without concern for the effect that it may have on someone else
And though I really hate to think I made you hurt
When I’m asked to change my actions in all truth that feels much worse
So I think that our relationship is through
But if you want to something more casual I’d consider it for you
