False Impression

I wish i could have stopped this all so long ago. 
I don't know why I even tried. 
Caught up in a ridiculous lie. 
I was under a false impression that I could give you everything you wanted. 
I should have stopped while I was ahead. 
I had this idea stuck in my mind that in a matter of time you'd be mine. 
I should have never even tried. 
I can't change the fact that I gave you all I had. 
I was under the false impression that this was all worth fighting for. 
Now i'm just left with another burned memory and where i was before. 
Why couldn't I stop myself so long ago? 
I could have saved myself from the pain that was in store. 
False impressions stuck in my mind, I should have known it'd be just a matter of time before 
you walked right out the door. 
I'll never forget the way you left me on the floor. 
Face first in a pool of my own misery. 
I'll never understand why you just gave up on me.
I should have stopped this all so long ago. 
Too bad time can't be replaced, and now my heart is left with this hole. 
I'll let go. 
I should have long ago.
