It's Better This Way
You ask me why I avoid you
you think that I despise
you feel betrayed and all alone
a thought that brings tears to your eyes
so here I'll tell the reason
I stay away from you
it might seem really silly
but it's because I love you
but I'm not good enough
to tell you so is wrong
but you need to know I don't hate you
because I've loved you all along
It's for your sake I stay away
and I hope you understand
that if it was up to me
beside you I would always stand
but It's not my choice
because I'm not good
and I'm trying to do
what I know I should
So please don't think I hate you
because I stay away
I do want to be near you
but it's really better this way
