It was you I was thinking of

Its clear to me that there's a lot I've given up,
that I've made one too many mistakes to count.
But would you believe me if I told you,
everything i do- I do it all for you?
Looking at you from a distance,
i see that smile that i hadn't seen in a while.
And it breaks my heart that I know whats best,
I know how much you mean to me.
Your heart's made of gold,
mines made of ice.
It looks pretty from the outside but its cold,
yours is beautiful inside and out.
Believe me I wake up every damn morning,
remembering what i've given up,
because you were the best thing I've ever had.
I read every note you wrote,
realized you really cared about me;
that simple concept i could never wrap my head around.
You deserve so much better,
someone who can promise you always and forever.
It's you I was thinking of,
when i said goodbye and watched you walk away.
And its clear to me that I've made one too many mistakes to count,
as i retrace my steps there's so much i would've changed,
and i won't let you regret any of it.
Looking from a distance,
I know you'll be okay now,
you've always been stronger than me.
And it breaks my heart that i know whats best,
but my heart's made of ice
and i know you deserve that much better.
And every morning I wake up,
thinking about what I've given up,
but baby it was you I was thinking of.
