We Used To Be

I sat in the place we used to live
Pain tangible in our space
Words on the tip of our tongues
But we distracted ourselves

I sat in "my" spot on the couch
For the first time in a few days
I tried reading a book like before
You were on your laptop

Our eyes met once, a flash
The deep hurt turned your eyes
They are two endless holes
Bleeding from the tears I brought

I'm sorry to you that's true
I apologize for the harm I did
But know that our time was up
It would've happened either way

I sat in my spot without you
My side cold from the lack of us
I realized in my reading that...
That we are truly over

We are now two strangers
We live in a house of past love
I know you miss me though
I'm locked in my room, away

I retreated, unable to look
I can't face you now I know
There a billions of questions
Only two I can answer

Why? That's hard to but I can
I did it out of impulse
But the impulse came from love
I never intended to deceive

How? That's simple to answer
I'm crazy, a manic storm
I'm in love, found by my true
Soul mate who also says sorry

While you feel my words tearing
I feel myself being liberated
While you're sitting in your room
I'm laying in bed smiling

Maybe I am crazy, maybe
I might regret it all in a year
But know that we will never be
I know that I messed up in love
