I'm gonna tell you what you need to hear And I'm a little too late by three or four years And it may not make much sense now that we are apart But I'm going to stop pretending that I didn't break your heart You see I never thought enough of myself To realize that losing me could mean something like the tears in your eyes And I want to tell you I'm sorry and it's too late to start But I'm going to stop pretending that I didn't break your heart And it's Christmas eve, years down the line Sitting here, wishing I'd treated you better when you were mine And I have no way of knowing where you are But I'm going to stop pretending that I didn't break your heart I didn't mean to hurt you I didn't know what I was doing But I know what I have done
