You Deserve Better

It's clear that you love me
But i don't understand why
After the things I have done
And all times I made you cry

I've let you down many times
And put those tears on your face
I hate myself for creating you pain
Along with all your disgrace

I cannot fathom how you felt
Each time your heart was broke
The pain and shame you hid
Behind depressions dark cloak

You stood up for me each time
Even knowing I was in the wrong
Your love must unconditional
And it's grace I do not belong

You should have someone deserving 
Who won't be the reason you to cry
This is difficult because I love you
But it time that I say goodbye 

I can't let myself break your heart 
I've done it too many times before 
I need to separate myself from you 
So i can never sadden you anymore
