The Loved One - The Loved Ones

Saw you singing your song the other day It's been a long time since your eyes lit up that way I felt the guilt build up as I looked back how things went wrong Did I have to sweep in and scar you? Five years, we shared the bittersweetness of our youth Then we broke up, because sometimes it is the best thing to do Did it ever cross your mind that maybe you hurt me too? But I'm not taking it against you Since the beginning, I never wanted anything But to see you reach your dreams, I knew that you just wanted me But I had dreams of my own, and I just couldn't let them go So, I apologize for coming into your life Just to break your heart to pieces, and then leave you in the night And I tried my best to stay by your side But who knew the rolling seasons would reveal that sometimes We aren't meant to be the one? So, goodbye to the ones we once loved When things got heavy, and you expected more from me I tried to be there to take away your tears But I didn't notice that I was chipping away At pieces of myself 'til there was nothing left to give I didn't even want to live But I apologize for coming into your life Just to break your heart to pieces, and then leave you in the night And I tried my best to stay by your side But who knew the rolling seasons would reveal that sometimes We aren't meant to be the one? So, goodbye to the ones we once loved I realized it wasn't anyone's fault at all It's just that I wasn't built to build you up when you fall Maybe we were meant to be a lesson to each other But I wish you well, and I'm sorry (I'm sorry) Oh, I apologize for coming into your life Just to break your heart to pieces, and then leave you in the night And I tried my best to stay by your side But who knew the rolling seasons would reveal that sometimes We aren't meant to be the one? So, goodbye to the ones, I wasn't meant to be the one So, goodbye to the one I once loved
