I've Done It Again

I tried to keep you from hating me
but I guess there's no hiding what came to be
I wanted to stay so close, so I wouldn't be alone
'cause this world is cruel, oh. . . I should have known
That I shouldn't have even tried
Oh hon. . . I'm just hurting myself
And NO, it's not at all your fault
I ruined it 'cause you know. . . that's me

I'm begging you, be my friend still,
please

I knew I'd take you for granted
"Oh, no. . . he'll always be there"
but I lost you
and it's costing me
everything
I let you down, I don't know if it hurts
but this "best friend game" has become my curse
I'm sorry for dragging you in
I tried to keep you from hating me

I'm a lost person
I look to people to stop the
PAIN
and if/when I lose you. . . yet another
scar I'll gain
but like I said before. . .
no, it's not your fault
It's mine

Forgive my heart's deadly sickness
for I live with it every day
it haunts

I tried to keep you from hating me
I'm begging you,
be my friend still
please. . .
