What Have I Done?

I'm at fault here,
I'm the one to blame.
I'm at fault here,
I toyed with you like a game.
I'm at fault here,
I kept changing my mind.
I'm at fault here,
You'll find someone better in time.

I'm sorry,
I know that doesn't fix it.
I'm sorry,
I just have to repeat it.
I'm sorry,
I know it's completely over.
I'm sorry,
I want you to know it's colder.

Please don't forget,
That you're better than your mistakes.
Please don't forget,
That it'll make sense one day.
Please don't forget,
The way we laughed.
Please don't forget,
That I'm part of your past.

If I could tell you,
I'd tell you I miss you.
If I could tell you,
I'd say I wish it were different.
If I could tell you,
I'd say thank you.
If I could tell you,
It would make it all too apparent.

This time I'm wrong,
But it had to be done.
This time I'm wrong,
And you would've won.
This time I'm wrong,
I'll be the first to admit.
This time I'm wrong,
But we can't work through it.

I won't forget
The times we shared.
I won't forget
How this isn't fair.
I won't forget
The hopes you had.
I won't forget
How you made me mad.

We'll both move on
Because we have to.
We'll both move on
Because that's what we should do.
We'll both move on
And you'll be happier.
We'll both move on
And you'll thank me later.

I don't know if you'll ever see this,
But I hope you do,
So that you can know
I did this because I care about you.
