As I awake on this April morning to you lying beside me
It hurts to know the next time we speak
You'll be wiping tears from your eyes
I think of just how to tell you
I can't be the man you need me to be
And though I will always hold you sweetly in my heart
You'll never lay in my arms
This is not the first time I've been down this road
A broken, tangled path of thorns
But to this day I never hesitate
To make the same mistakes twice
When I say these things I take no pride
I don't like the man I've become
But I just need some fear in my heart
To feel like I'm in love
And as I turn to leave
And you say you'll give me all you have
I say that's exactly it
If I can have you, I don't want you
I never meant to break you so badly
I never meant for you to get so involved
I hope that one day you'll find someone better
Right now I'm a man without a heart from which to start
