Wish You Were Here

I'm sorry that I never knew
Just how lucky I was to have you
I'd say empty words I hope to God that I meant
But I never understood
And now this wasted heart, it seems
To be falling apart at the seams
I'm so lucky to have you
But this doesn't seem right

Well I just woke up
'Cause I can't get to sleep
'Cause I've been thinking it all over now
You deserve so much more
Than someone like me
And I think it's the time to stop now

No use crying over spilt guilt

You're detroying me without a word
And I don't want anyone to get hurt
I'll never forget you
I'll never forgive myself
Never wanted to let you go
But this is no way to live

I'm so sorry
But the fairytale ending was never going to work
Please forgive me
But I'm sure there's plenty more fish in the sea
I'm sure there's prettier girls in the scene

Coffee and late dawns
This is goodbye
Sleepless and more songs
Please understand that I tried
Please understand that I cried
Please understand -I love you - goodbye.
