Explanation

I know it's too late to regret what I did,
I can't take back all the things I said,
But please, trust me on this,
I didn't end it because I didn't feel it.
Honestly, I felt it more than I thought possible,
I felt the love welling up inside my soul -
The passion, the fun, the love when we would flirt -
I felt it all so much it hurt.
I felt it all just as much as you,
Still I felt like I was being unfair, too
So I decided to give you up, admit defeat
'Cause I was too self-absorbed, consumed by conceit.
See, I always told you all my problems,
Wanting to vent, knowing you couldn't solve them,
Knowing you wanted to, felt bad you couldn't help,
Knowing I was being selfish, paying more attention to how I felt.
That's why it was so unfair to keep you,
Just taking, knowing that you needed love, too,
Knowing that I couldn't be the girlfriend I should,
Knowing that I couldn't give you anything good.
So even though I loved you, I chose to give you up,
Hoping that next time you'd have better luck
'Cause I didn't deserve you, I wasn't good enough,
So I made a decision - one agonizingly tough.
No, I didn't end it because I didn't love you
I was just doing what I thought was best for you,
Giving you up so that you could be happy
And find love with someone better than me.
