Complicit

Don't know how I missed it,
How I got so complicit,
How I overlooked those parts of you. 

And now I'm in danger, 
The man I love turned into a stranger,
And I'm starting see we've got more problems than a few. 

Holy F%ck do I feel stupid.
How did I even do this? 
How did I let this happen to me? 

And I still feel like it's my fault, 
I'm so bad at love you've gotta launch this assault,
But really it wouldn't matter what I do.

And I'm terrified to leave,
But there's less love than there is grief,
And I can tell I've got no future with you.

I don't know how I missed it, 
Or how I got so complicit,
Why I stayed in your shadow, 
Or why I thought you'd grow. 

I know I need forgiveness; 
I know I didn't do this. 
I'm trying to fix it. 
I don't want to be complicit.
