The Letter

I'm sorry that I couldn't love you
I'm sorry that I walked away
I know you'll continue to love me
But I'd never expect you to stay
And I'm well aware of my choices
They're choices that you wouldn't choose
I never intended to hurt you
But I guess that's just my point of view
What a shame that I couldn't love you
I still hold on to the letter you wrote me
Here in the drawer by my bed
Days pass me by and the nights feel so lonely
Circling round in my head
I'm sorry that I left instead
You know the right things to tell me
And think I don't hear what you say
Believe when I say that I hear you
But it's best if we keep it at bay
And I didn't expect you to love me
It's not what I had in mind
And I'm far from perfect, still you see
Something in me in which you confide
I still hold on to the letter you wrote me
Here in the drawer by my bed
Days pass me by and the nights feel so lonely
Circling round in my head
I'm sorry that I left instead
I'm sorry that I couldn't love you
I'm sorry that I walked away
If there's just one thing I should tell you
It's that I loved you, just not in that way
