Your Sake

(album: Beautiful Oblivion - 2019)

I don't love you like you think I do
It's not because I found somebody new
It's not because of anything you did
It's because of what I've failed to do

I can't live with this guilt
I won't put you through hell
No more than I've already caused you
Hurts to say I blame myself
I know you're holding on
God must've built me wrong
I hid who I was in the dark
But now the lights are coming on

Wish I could be somebody else for your sake
I'm only lying to myself if I stay
I'll cherish everything we had to this day
Wish I could be somebody else for your sake
Wish I could be somebody else
Wish I could be somebody else
I'm only lying to myself if I stay
I swear I'd be somebody else for your sake

I don't love you like you think I do
I'm just in love with all that we've been through
You're always bringing out the best in me
And I don't wanna lose a friend in you

I can't live with this guilt
I won't put you through hell
No more than I've already caused you
Hurts to say I blame myself
I know you're holding on
God must've built me wrong
I hid who I was in the dark
But now the lights are coming on

Wish I could be somebody else for your sake
I'm only lying to myself if I stay
I'll cherish everything we had to this day
Wish I could be somebody else for your sake
Wish I could be somebody else
Wish I could be somebody else
I'm only lying to myself if I stay
I swear I'd be somebody else for your sake

It's taking all I have in me
To tell you to your face
That all I have in me
Is nothing you can change
I never had a choice
And that's more than you can take
But I swear that if I did
You know what I would say

Wish I could be somebody else for your sake
I'd just be lying to myself if I stay
I'll cherish everything we had to this day
I swear I'll be somebody else

Wish I could be somebody else for your sake
I'm only lying to myself if I stay
I'll cherish everything we had to this day
Wish I could be somebody else for your sake
Wish I could be somebody else
Wish I could be somebody else
I'm only lying to myself if I stay
I swear I'd be somebody else for your sake

I'm only lying to myself if I stay
I'll never be somebody else for your sake
