I know I am going to fuck this up.
It’s only a matter of time.
And I wish you would let me
hurt you now to save you from the pain later.
I don’t want to put a time limit on us
but I know the longer it goes
the hurt will get worse.
And I hate to see you cry.
I’m too selfish to leave
because that’s the last thing I want to do
but the rational part of me
knows it’s what I should do.
I would much rather be broken again
than break you.
Even though I’ve just started to put the pieces back together.
I’ll let you scatter them again
Just to save yourself from another heartbreak.
