Maybe Together We're Better Apart

I feel I must be mistaken
In everything I thought until now
I believe I let my resolve be shaken
And chose the only path I knew how

I thought I believed I loved you
I thought that nothing would get in the way
But it seems that no matter what I do
For my dreams I'll cast reality away

I can't say I ever truly believed it
I think I did but you never know
Maybe I'm just ducking so I won't get hit
Or maybe I didn't have anywhere else to go

I don't want to believe in forever
It seems I always fall apart
Even if we weren't meant to be together
I can't bring myself to break your heart

It's not that I don't feel anything
I feel more than I've felt most of my life
I don't want pain to be all I bring
But there's someone else I want by my side

I don't know if this someone can see me
Or would even remember my name
But just in case that is where I'm meant to be
If I don't try it'll be only myself to blame

Maybe we'd both be better in the end
Even if both our worlds crumble down
I don't want to hurt you by continuing to pretend
But I still would like to have you around

I think that I will only be denied
The return of the feels recently grown
Maybe I would deserve to be cast aside
If turned away I'd rather be on my own
