So Broken

I am so broken,
I am alone
I knew a love like this
couldn't last forever.
But I hoped you wouldn't
walk away.

I tried to hide all I've
ever known. But it's all
you've ever shown. I twist
the knife deeper and hold
to the truth I've always
seen. I know you can't
love me, and I can't love
you. But I didn't know
I'd end you so broken.

I am so broken,
I am alone
I knew a love like this
couldn't last forever.
But I hoped you wouldn't
walk away.

I am ashamed.
I let me love you.
And now I'm all alone,
why couldn't you love me too.
