Downhearted

I'm sorry for leaving you all on your own
I would try to forgive this, if only I could
I've wanted to tell you the hurt that's inside
But there's no point in trying, my hands are tied

You could say I lost belief that there is good in everything
I tried to take my life away, because of you I had to stay
If you could see the misery that took it's toll inside of me
But I don't want your sympathy, just know this is killing me

I just want you to know
That there was a reason I couldn't let go
I lost a part of my soul
The moment I left home with guilt of my own

There's no excuse for what I've done
I tried to stay it all went wrong
All I loved had come undone
I'm not the man that I thought I was

I just want you to know

I just want you to know
That there was a reason I couldn't let go
I lost a part of my soul
The moment I left home with guilt of my own
I just want you to know
I'm sorry for the way I left, although I know it's for the best
I just want you to know
The choice I made I can't outrun, I'll take the blame for what I've done

All this guilt inside of me
Has left a hole where love should be
I didn't want to say goodbye but
Everyday you're on my mind

I know that I was in the wrong
I won't forgive the things I've done
I do not want your sympathy
I promise you I'm suffering

Leaving you all on your own
I tried to stay it all went wrong
There's no excuse for what I've done
Forgive this if I only could

I'm sorry for the things I've done
I'm not the man that I thought I was
