The Ones We Once Loved

Saw you singing your song the other day
 It's been a long time since your eyes lit up that way
 I felt the guilt build up as I looked back how things went wrong
 Did I have to sweep in and scar you?
 Five years, we shared the bittersweetness of our youth
 Then we broke up, because sometimes it is the best thing to do
 Did it ever cross your mind that maybe you hurt me too?
 But I'm not taking it against you
 Since the beginning, I never wanted anything
 But to see you reach your dreams, I knew that you just wanted me
 But I had dreams of my own, and I just couldn't let them go
 So, I apologize for coming into your life
 Just to break your heart to pieces, and then leave you in the night
 And I tried my best to stay by your side
 But who knew the rolling seasons would reveal that sometimes
 We aren't meant to be the one?
 So, goodbye to the ones we once loved
 ♪
 When things got heavy, and you expected more from me
 I tried to be there to take away your tears
 But I didn't notice that I was chipping away
 At pieces of myself 'til there was nothing left to give
 I didn't even want to live
 But I apologize for coming into your life
 Just to break your heart to pieces, and then leave you in the night
 And I tried my best to stay by your side
 But who knew the rolling seasons would reveal that sometimes
 We aren't meant to be the one?
 So, goodbye to the ones we once loved
 I realized it wasn't anyone's fault at all
 It's just that I wasn't built to build you up when you fall
 Maybe we were meant to be a lesson to each other
 But I wish you well, and I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
 Oh, I apologize for coming into your life
 Just to break your heart to pieces, and then leave you in the night
 And I tried my best to stay by your side
 But who knew the rolling seasons would reveal that sometimes
 We aren't meant to be the one?
 So, goodbye to the ones, I wasn't meant to be the one
 So, goodbye to the one I once loved
