I'm gonna tell you what you need to hear

And i'm a little too late

By three or four years

And it may not make much sense

Now that we are apart

But i'm going to stop pretending

That i didn't break your heart



You see i never thought enough of myself

To realize that losing me could mean

Something like the tears in your eyes

And i want to tell you i'm sorry

And it's too late to start

But i'm going to stop pretending 

That i didn't break your heart



And it's christmas eve

Years down the line

Sitting here wishing i'd treated you better

When you were mine

And i have no way of knowing where you are

But i'm going to stop pretending 

That i didn't break your heart



I didn't mean to hurt you

I didn't know what i was doing

But i know what i have done
