I did you wrong

Look i know i did you wrong,
but that wasnt the plan.
to keep you by my side,
ill do whatever i can.

i broke your heart,
something i never meant to do.
your my best friend,
and well girl-i love you.

i was supposed to be here for you,
when no one else came.
but instead i turned away,
and still yourself you blame.

you were hurt,
protected is what you needed to be.
but i never thought,
you would need protected from me.

please forgive me,
i need you in my life.
but ill leave you alone,
if you think thats right.

but before you walk away,
theres two things you should know.
that i really do love you,
and i dont want you to go.

im sorry cathleen,
thats all ive got to say.
and ill silently wipe my tears,
as i watch you walk away.
