Ben&Ben - The Ones We Once Loved

Saw you singing your song the other day
It's been a long time since your eyes lit up that way
I felt the guilt build up as I looked back how things went wrong
Did I have to sweep in and scar you?

Five years, we shared the bitter-sweetness of our youth
Then we broke up, because sometimes it is the best thing to do
Did it ever cross your mind that maybe you hurt me too?
But I'm not taking it against you

Since the beginning I never wanted anything
But to see you reach your dreams
I knew that you just wanted me
But I had dreams of my own, and I just couldn't let them go

So I apologize
For coming into your life
Just to break your heart to pieces
And then leave you in the night

I tried my best to stay by your side
But who knew the rolling seasons would reveal that sometimes
We aren't meant to be the one
So goodbye to the ones we once loved

When things got heavy, and you expected more from me
I tried to be there to take away your tears
But I didn't notice that I was chipping away
At pieces of myself 'til there was nothing left to give
I didn't even want to live

But I apologize
For coming into your life
Just to break your heart to pieces
And then leave you in the night

I tried my best to stay by your side
But who knew the rolling seasons would reveal that sometimes
We aren't meant to be the one
So goodbye to the ones we once loved

I realized it wasn't anyone's fault at all
It's just that I wasn't built to build you up when you fall
Maybe we were meant to be a lesson to each other
But I wish you well
And I'm sorry

Oh I apologize
For coming into your life
Just to break your heart to pieces
And then leave you in the night

I tried my best to stay by your side
But who knew the rolling seasons would reveal that sometimes
We aren't meant to be the one
So goodbye to the ones
I wasn't meant to be the one
So goodbye to the one I once loved
