Loving You Silently

You always said I'd break your heart (one day, one day)
Ain't it funny how the role's reversed?
I should've known it from the start (no way, no way)
I was never gonna put me first
No use in holding you from afar
If I'll just be opening other scars
If missin' me's hell
Then there isn't much else I can do
So I'll go on, loving you silently
You're not the one but you're still a part of me
We never won, and never even really got to try
So you go on living inside of me
Watch from the front, instead of beside of me
You had to run, and never even got to say goodbye
I flatterred you to make a plan
But there's no clarity in smoke and dust
It hurts me but I understand
Can't love you enough for the both of us
No use in holding you from afar
If I'll just be opening other scars
If missin' me's hell
Then there isn't much else I can do
So I'll go on, loving you silently
You're not the one but you're still a part of me
We never won, and never even really got to try
So you go on living inside of me
Watch from the front, instead of beside of me
You had to run, and never even got to say goodbye
I know 'bout your wounds
Know they need tending to
I cared for you
Wasn't pretending to
Hope it was true
The way you said you loved me every night
I know about your flaws
Would have been fine with me
You don't want help
I shouldn't have tried to be
I'm just myself
And now I'll be sayin' goodbye
