It Was Me

Why does it only apply to you?

You say you're busy—

Didn't I say that too?

And yet you blame me,

You shame me,

Your reasons felt like enough,

But it kills me

To see you where I once thought I was.

But I don’t care if you’re far away,

My heart’s gone astray,

And you don’t care enough

For me.

All the phone calls you never answered,

All the dreams that turned to disasters—

You caused.

It only broke my heart.

But I can’t blame you,

I was unfair.

I said I wanted this,

Now I’m haunted

By your stare.

You loved being my friend all along,

So where did we go wrong?

I never thought

I’d struggle just to say goodbye.

But still, you left—

You never saw me cry.

All the phone calls you never answered,

All the dreams that turned to disasters—

You caused.

It only broke my heart.

But I can’t blame you,

I was unfair.

I said I wanted this,

Now I’m haunted

By your stare.

And I still smile at you

While passing on the street.

But the thing that hurt you

Keeps killing me.

It was me—

Yeah, it was me who left you alone.

And it was me who hurt the one—

The one I used to call

My home.

All alone.
