Lyrics
Raise your flashlights up to the sky
High as your arms can reach tonight
But this is not a breakup song
This is an I'm sorry that I hurt you
And it took me so long to apologise for
All of the selfish shit I did
But I love you enough to stand here and admit
And admit that, and admit that
Oh no, and admit that
I don't like the person that I am when I hurt you
'Cause in those moments, I desert you
And I realize I don't deserve you, no, I don't deserve you, but
I'm praying on my knees I'm begging that you won't leave me
But you can do so much better, please, believe me
So, I won't blame you if you leave me, leave me 'cause I
I made a promise on the day we said vows
I swore to love you and to never let you down
I told your father I'd protect you from the pain
I told your mother I would shelter you from rain
You were the only one that I have ever dreamed of
My perfect truth that I've hidden with every lie
If only I was less concerned about our future
I might've noticed you needed me by your side
And after all of those days, you kept it inside
Don't know how I missed every tear that you cried
I loved you enough to let you be free
So, I can't blame you, baby, it started with me
I loved you but left you in moments of need
We broke like a promise, too heavy to keep
And baby, it kills me lately
'Cause maybe I'm the reason why
I don't like the person that I am when I hurt you
'Cause in those moments I desert you
And I realize I don't deserve you, no, I don't deserve you, but
I'm praying on my knees I'm begging that you won't leave me
But you can do so much better, please, believe me
So, I won't blame you if you leave me, leave me 'cause I
I'm so sorry for the way things went down
You deserve a king and I'm not wearing no crown
There's tears welling up in your eyes
I'd be lying through my teeth if I told you I was surprised
