How Does The Right Feel So Wrong?

The last thing I ever wanted to do
Is exactly what I did to you
I should have realised that you'd get hurt
And our hearts would be left stranded in the dirt

We had no choice, we knew what was right
But the right thing to do left us crying through the night
I didn't want to leave, for my feelings for you
Were and still are so strong and so true

I'm sorry for the pain I ever put you through
I'll always have memories I'm going to cling to
But to make things easy for the two of us
Letting go is a must

I know what we had will always play on my mind
But I know I have to leave the thought of us behind
I will always love you, that's what hurts the most
Because in my heart you'll always be close
