In the time apart,
We were meant to fix our mistakes,
You were meant to mend my heart,
Not have me replaced.
I didn't find someone else,
You were the one who hurt me,
But i didn't turn away,
But i should've, now i see.
I was the one in love,
Not you,
I thought you felt the same way,
But now i know that's not true.
All those times we shared,
What i thought was perfection,
Was just my imagination,
And now i've learnt my lesson.
And yet after all the hurt,
And all this agonising pain,
I can't help but love you,
You were my sunshine when all around was rain.
