Minutes turn to hours, hours turn to days
Knew what I had to do, couldn't find the words to say
We had the perfect story, stories have an end
You know I loved you with everything that I had
But what you needed I couldn't be, held you back
I cared enough about you, to give you the chance
I broke your heart, I did it for you…
Tore us apart, I did it for you…
Just walked away…I did it for you, for you…
You wanted more than my everything (I did it for you)
Someone you knew that I couldn't be (did it for you)
I doubt you'll ever understand me, but it's true…It's true
I could say I'm sorry, wouldn't mean a thing
Baby what you wanted wasn't for me,
Had to cut you loose, cuz forever's something we can't be
You know I loved you with everything that I had
But what you needed I couldn't be, held you back
I cared enough about you, to give you the chance
I broke your heart, I did it for you…
Tore us apart, I did it for you…
