Pretty Close

They said we won’t last , it made us laugh.
But deep down I knew it to be true.
Maybe the reason we fell apart was because
All along I was rooting for us to break up.
I've always known love never ends but
If it does, it was never there in the first place.

I have no doubt you did adore me
I could see it in your eyes.
Maybe you were too blind to realize
I wasn't into you as much as you were.
I just hope you find someone true
Who will love you the way I never could.
Try to forget the fool that I was
For making you believe
You were the one I wanted a future with.
Forgive me for being the cause of your pain
If you don’t I'll totally understand.

At first I thought I would learn to cherish you
The way a good partner should,
Just like a great boyfriend would.
With time I knew we were never meant to be
We just happened ,and just like a nice story
It had to end , I could no longer pretend.
I told you what I really felt
It wasn't love but it was pretty close.
