I Already Said I'm Sorry...

A simple misunderstanding
Has brought about this hate,
I never said I loved you,
Now explenations are too late.

I thought that we were special,
Friends who healed together our pain.
Now  you want to destroy me,
Smash my trust and hope again.

I didn't expect you to be overjoyed
Things didn't work out as you planned.
But my choices are mine to face,
Over my feelings I have  no command.

So please stop trying to hurt me,
Stand by me or go away.
I'm sorry I couldn't love  you,
Is all that's left I can say.
