Oh, But Lover

We see it two different ways

My head has been in a daze

I haven't slept in a week

I made a promise to you I can't keep

It's driving me to the edge

I walk myself to the ledge

I'd jump a thousand feet

Just so I can finally get relief

And the feeling of falling out of your love

Has a dread I couldn't ever dream up

And it haunts me just to think of what I'd done

And in light of everything we'd become

I'm finally learning to love myself

Better than I have before

And I know that means I'm breaking your heart

Oh but, lover, we were broken from the start

I hope you look at us still

And feel the love that I felt

I know that soon you will build

Your life again with someone else

Is it selfish to keep wanting you this way?

I know I'm the only one here to blame

You can't move on when I'm always in your way

And we both know I can't stay

I'm finally learning to love myself

Better than I have before

And I know that means I'm breaking your heart

Oh, but lover, we were broken from the start

Lightning strikes in the same place

We'd better run and hide 'fore it finds us again

It's dangerous to think all the things we could have been

Lover, that's a war we will never win

Is it selfish to keep wanting you this way?

I know I'm the only one here to blame

You can't move on when I'm always in your way

When I can't make up my mind either way

I'm finally learning to love myself

Better than I have before

And I know that means I'm breaking your heart

Oh, but lover, we were broken from the start

Think I made a promise to you I can't keep

Think I made a promise to you I can't keep
