I hate to say it But I'm fading from your light Now I'm thinkin' I should probably go If you don't mind I'ma just sit this one out 'Cause I don't know how to tell you I'm sorry I wish I didn't have to say goodbye Wish you didn't have to see me like this It's just the way it is Some stories don't rewrite No matter how you try I thought I was him Turns out I'm just a ghost I hate to say it But I'm already gone I never meant to break your heart I was only trying to find my way back home I hope it doesn't tear you apart When you wake up and you're finally alone I never meant to break your heart I never meant to carve my name in your pain I hope it doesn't tear you apart When you remember me and curse my name I hate to say it But you were holding on to smoke I never meant to break your heart I was only tracing constellations of my own I hope it doesn't tear you apart When you wake up to a colder, quiet home I never meant to break your heart Never meant to be the shadow in your flame I hope it doesn't tear you apart When I'm just a distant echo of your name
