The more I seem to break your heart
the surer I am that we should part.
You should be with someone new
who would not keep making you blue.
To know that I cause you pain
I'm sure adds to the strain.
Making our life together on edge
was counter to my marriage pledge.
Just to see that this is so
causes my grief and shame to grow.
To think I should have learned from the past
makes me believe our relationship can't last.
I realize that I should have changed
so you would not now feel estranged.
To see myself repeat a past mistake
gives me sorrow causing my heart to ache.
