Pain In Your Eyes

I can see the pain in your eyes, 
its right there, 
reminding me of what I've done.
I am the betrayer, 
I put this hurt on you, 
and you never deserved to feel this way.
I don't have any excuses; 
I can't say it was a mistake, 
because I knew exactly what I was doing.
The regret I feel chokes me; 
I have no words I can say, 
nothing that can erase what I've done.
I wish you'd hate me,
I wish you'd turn away,
I wish you'd say you never want to see me again.
Because sitting here, 
watching you accept this 
is killing me.
I know you deserve better, 
I know that better should have been me, 
but it wasn't.
I can say I'm sorry, 
but even though I mean it, 
they're just empty words.
No one likes a cheater, 
no one should.
