I don’t want to lead you on

But I don’t want to let you go

I don’t want to be the one

That you love so

 

I don’t want to make you think

That we stand a chance

I don’t want to take one blink

And find I’m in a romance

 

So I’m sorry if I pull away sometimes

Sorry if I don’t always give a reason why

I’m sorry if I don’t meet your needs

Sorry that I cannot be who you want me to be

 

I know that I cannot give

You what you want from me

And I know that I hurt you

So often and easily

 

And I wish I could make it stop

All the pain I put you through

I wish I could heal your heart

Make it just like new

 

So I’m sorry if I pull away sometimes

Sorry if I don’t always give a reason why

I’m sorry if I don’t meet your needs

Sorry that I cannot be who you want me to be

 

I just want to be your friend

Sticking by you til the very end

And I can help you when you’re down

I can wipe away that frown

 

But please don’t read it any deeper than

What it’s meant to show

I know that you analyze things

To the point of overload

 

So I’m sorry if I pull away sometimes

Sorry if I don’t always give a reason why

I’m sorry if I don’t meet your needs

Sorry that I cannot be who you want me to be

So I hope that you’ll see

That I’m trying to be

Always there by your side

But not under your arm

 

And I know that you’ll find

Your special someone

Who’ll love you the way you need

But please just know

That it will not be me
