I know, you tried (from the Live EP)

Sweet sixteen
when learning how to love was infatuation
Seventeen
When did things become so damn complicated
Constantly playing terrified and innocent
Pretending I don't know the reason why you left

But I know you're not a monster
And I know that you still cared
And I know that when you loved me
You were scared
Too scared to leave me lonely
But I feel lonely all the time
No the monster wasn't you
He was in my mind
It was hard on you to stay
But I know you tried

Honestly, being on my own was all I needed
Because I've grown into bigger shoes
I'm riding bikes, and diving too
Not so scared of deep ends anymore
But I'm so over being scared and innocent
I'm learning how to let you go with no regrets

Because I know you're not the monster
And I know that you still cared
And I know that when you loved me
You were scared to leave me lonely
But I feel lonely all the time
No the monster wasn't you
He was in my mind
It was hard on you to stay
But I know you tried

No, I don't want to move on backwards anymore
The tragedy is set I'll clean the blood off the floor
We tried to change the ending, inevitable decline
It's time to face the muses
You're no longer mine
But that's alright

Because I know you're not the monster
And know that you've always cared
And I know you tried to love me
When you were scared
You were scared to leave me lonely
But turns out loneliness is fine
Now I finally feel okay to say goodbye

And I know you couldn't stay
But at least you tried
