Breaking You

they watched the leaves that fell outside
watched their lives passing by
and from a distance it seems so clear
but it’s all different when you’re here
and there were nights I was alone
I knew we’d never make it through
but it was never my intention
breaking you
it’s like the waves that never wait
to wash away — see you fade
and though it’s strange — what’s to say
when you can’t leave — and you can’t stay
and there were nights I was alone
I knew we’d never make it through
but it was never my intention
breaking you
for every choice I ever made
a thousand choices thrown away
for every thing I ever tried
a million others set aside
and every dream I’ll ever dream
and everyone I’ll ever be
and everything you mean to me
it’s just not enough
everyone I’ll ever know
every place I’ll ever go
every feeling ever shown
every wish this heart can hold
every morning every night
every touch and every smile
every minute of this life
it’s not what I hoped for
I’ll always be wanting more
