I'm Going To Stop Pretending That I Didn't Break Your Heart Lyrics

I'm gonna tell you
What you need to hear
I'm a little too late
'Bout three or four years

And it may not make much sense
Now that we are apart
But I'm going to stop
Pretending that I didn't break your heart

You see I never thought enough of myself
To realize
That losing me could mean something
Like the tears in your eyes

I wanna tell you I'm sorry
It's too late to start
But I'm going to stop
Pretending that I didn't break your heart

It's Christmas eve
Years down the line
Sitting here wishing I'd treated you better
When you were mine

And I have no way of knowing
Where you are
But I'm going to stop
Pretending that I didn't break your heart

I didn't mean to hurt you
I didn't know what I was doing
But I know what I've done

maybe you split with someone you dont realise how much you can mean to someone. you dont value yourself half as much as someone values you? you cant understand why someone would give a shite that youre not with you but they do. you break them but you dont mean to. beautiful. rx

A long-time friend offer me this song last Christmas... I'm french, and I didn't know what was the exact meaning 'til now (don't got english-speaking ear)... Huh, I think it's well-appropriated... I love it so much & loved her too much ^^

I think this song is about someone who for so long been acting like the victim and thinking they're the one who have been hurt. Completely blind to what they did to the other person.. Until time passes and they get time to reflect and see the damage theey did to someone who loved them so they finally own up to what they did hence " I'm gonna stop pretending that I didn't break your heart"
