Not Saying Sorry

I know why you feel the way that you do
We've shared a ceiling and we've worn each other's shoes
You know you've done nothing wrong but you should
Cause it's killing me to be leaving someone so damn good

But I'm not saying sorry
When I've got nothing to be sorry for
I won't be held responsible
For the pain in your eyes when I walk out the door

When I met you you were too cool for school
I was unusual but you couldn't have called me cruel
We were a pair of overconfident lovers
Saying no matter what we would always come back to each other
But it didn't work out that way, we drifted onto different paths
Can't you see that to stay with me would be holding yourself back

So I'm not saying sorry
For giving you the room you need to grow
I think deep down you want that
And I'm gonna prove my love by letting go

You've been mine and I've been yours long enough
We'll sign the paperwork, we'll separate our stuff
Then you and I will live our lives far apart
And you will find love that patches the holes in your heart
And I will change into my next self cavalier and unforgiven
Part of me might always wonder if I made the right decision

But I'm not saying sorry
Doesn't love mean I never have to
I must keep moving onward
I can't be looking over my shoulder at you
I'm not saying sorry
For the way you choose to react to the steps I take
Don't tell me it's my fault
That you put your heart in my hands when you knew it could break
