"i realize what i had and how easily i let it go" pretty much explains it
Lyrics
we're sitting here in the dark
in your bedroom
but we have to be quiet
cause your parents are next door
which seems like something
we should be past by now
since we're both in college
but that doesn't matter at all to me
because i'm here with you
and that's the only place
i want to be, yeah here with you
but this night is different
i can see you've got
something on your mind
and i know it's going to be bad
you are crying
as you tell me everything that's wrong
and you ask me what i think
but there's only silence
i've got so much to say
but all my feelings i hold inside
and i don't know why
but i can be such a jerk sometimes
i guess that is the problem
why it will never work
the awkward silence persists
until i realize
it's time for me to leave
you say you're sorry
and you wish it could be different
but i'm the one
that should be apologizing
nobody is perfect
but you come so close
and i have no right to hurt you
and i never meant to
so with a hug goodbye
it's over
you are crying
as i walk out the door
because you know that
it will never be the same again
i would be too
but it hasn't hit me yet
and i, i'm so sorry
that it had to end this way
reality sets in
on the drive home
reality sets in
but it's too late
reality sets in
on the drive home
i realize what i had
and how easily i let it go
i pick up the phone
but then put it away
i want to tell you everything
but it's too late
reality sets in
on the drive home
reality sets in
but it's too late
