Written 2006 at 125.
Recorded by Dylan Balliett at LHQ.

lyrics

I'm sorry but you got me wrong:
I wasn't born to love you
And I wasn't born to tear your world apart.
You cast me in that role to make your one-act life feel full
And I am sorry that I know I wasn't born to play that part.

And now you're left alone thinking you see the curtains closing.
The stage lights overhead are flickering
And I'm there in the chair without a care just gently dozing,
The same old boy, the same new man that I have always been.

I'm sorry that I broke your heart;
I wasn't meant to hold it.
It is fragile and I dropped it on that day.
The pieces filled the room with that resounding static boom
And they are cutting through my shoes as I am trying to walk away.

And yes, it meant a lot; I wouldn't try to say it didn't
So get those dirty words out of your mouth.
What I'm trying to say is things have changed and they are different
And I don't know the way either but I am leaving now.
