I Hate To Say It

I hate to say it
But I'm fading from your light

Now I'm thinkin' I should probably go
If you don't mind
I'ma just sit this one out
'Cause I don't know how to tell you I'm sorry
I wish I didn't have to say goodbye
Wish you didn't have to see me like this
It's just the way it is
Some stories don't rewrite
No matter how you try

I thought I was him
Turns out I'm just a ghost
I hate to say it
But I'm already gone

I never meant to break your heart
I was only trying to find my way back home
I hope it doesn't tear you apart
When you wake up and you're finally alone
I never meant to break your heart
I never meant to carve my name in your pain
I hope it doesn't tear you apart
When you remember me and curse my name

I hate to say it
But you were holding on to smoke

I never meant to break your heart
I was only tracing constellations of my own
I hope it doesn't tear you apart
When you wake up to a colder, quiet home
I never meant to break your heart
Never meant to be the shadow in your flame
I hope it doesn't tear you apart
When I'm just a distant echo of your name
