The tea has already spilled

You said 
You understood
Why I wanted to end it
And I said I was glad

But suddenly I'm not
I guess 
I hoped that
you'd fight for us 
a little more
Though I have no right
 to ask that
Seeing as I made 
the decision

I regret it
Like you regret 
drinking tea too quickly
On a snowy day
Burning 
the roof of your mouth
When all you wanted
Was soft warmth
But I needed that tea
To keep me 
from getting sick

And in my mind
Somewhere in my mind
 where I won't reach
I want to go back
And tell you it was a joke
It was a 
misunderstanding
Just something 
that'd make you want me back

The tea has already spilled
And I can't clean it up now
