A Love Letter With A Twist

I'm sorry I'm not the man
That I always promised to be
I was distracted time and again
By your second thoughts
And endless regrets

You know the love I have for you
Isn't matched by anyone
But I guess love can't stand up
To a warm body next to you
And a conditional shoulder to cry on

Theres some things
That you need to know
But I could never say them to you
So I write them in a song
For you to never see

My happiness
Is just a common misconception
I wish I could take your sickness into me
And leave you happy and alone
While I bade away like footprints in the sand

I tried to change for you
But I died inside
Things were fine
For the brief moment in time
That you were mine
