It hurts

It hurts to tell you
That I cannot stay
I can’t let you be a burden
To the choice I must make

You’re my best friend
But I have to let you go
All good things must end
And I need you to know
That I will always love you
For longer than I should
Because I fell for you too
Though I never thought I could

Never thought it would be
A boy who was tough
But one who could see
That love isn’t enough
One who would know
That dreams simply won’t do
One who would go
And get a job too

I've always just thought
That we'd make it work
All we'd need is what we've got
And that money was a perk
But now I can tell
That this isn't so
Things won't work out well
And that's what I know

Not everything lasts forever
Though sometimes things do
But trying to stay together
Will hurt me and you
Be mad at me now
But you'll understand later
Just don't get too angry
And start saying "I hate her"
I want to end it right
Without resent or regret
I dont want to fight
And wish we hadn't met

So it hurts to tell you
That I cannot stay
Love can’t get us through
And I’ve dreaded this day
The day I will leave
And you’ll stay at home
Forever depart
We’ll live in this poem
