In The Time Apart.

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.
