It isn't your fault
It's over because
The world has thrown
A million things at us
There's a part of my mind
That has to admit
To the rest of myself
That now is the time to quit
And I have to stay true
I have to accept
I have move on
It's only for the best
And I think after time
Well, I hope after time
That I won't regret
This big decision of mine
I know you tried,
I know I tried,
I know we tried
It isn't your fault
There's no one to blame
If your world is frustrated inside
Just know that I feel the same
It's okay to be angry
It's okay to feel hurt
I know the pain that lingers under
The upper left of your shirt
I've grown my hair long
And you've gotten tall
I wonder how years will change us
Or if I'll even know you at all
But I'll always be thankful
We gave it our best
Learned a world about love in each other
So let's give it a rest
I know you tried,
I know I tried,
I know we tried
I know we aren't giving up
We're just moving on
This doesn't just mean it's the end
We just need to begin
Living a new life after this
Someday we'll reminisce
We may not love like we did before
Please take care, I'm no longer yours
I know you tried,
I know I tried,
I know we tried...
