This Goodbye

I take the blame for how it ended
I see the harm my choices made
I let my pride speak over care
No shield, no excuse to trade

This goodbye rests on me
I own the weight you feel
I choose to face the truth alone
And answer for what broke us apart

I missed the signs you tried to show
I pushed too hard, I closed my heart
I took for granted what we had
And left you paying for my faults, faults, faults, faults

No blame to place upon you
This ending points to my acts, my acts
I carry less than plain
And bare so peace can find you elsewhere

This goodbye rests on me
I own the weight you feel
I choose to face the truth alone
And hope your days find ease again

I'm sorry for the hurt I caused
I accept my part complete
I stand away and let you go
And wish you calm ahead
