Sorry, Beau

[Verse 1]
You were there in the hallway
Laughing at my crooked jokes
Holding all my heavy days
Like they were just your coat
I kept calling in the night
Every time my world fell through
Used your shoulder like a shelter
Never asked what it did to you

[Chorus]
I’m sorry
Beau
For every time I made you pull me from the fire
For turning all my panic into something you had to wire
I’m just a girl who’s always breaking
Always running when I’m shaken
And I know
That’s why we can’t be friends
(I’m sorry, Beau)

[Verse 2]
You deserve an easy love
Not my weather
Not my storms
Someone who won’t always show up
Bleeding at your door
‘Cause I would call you every time
Someone else would let me fall
You were first to pick me up
But the last one that I’d call

[Chorus]
I’m sorry
Beau
For every time I only came when I was hurting
For treating you like you were just a place to hide my burden
I’m just a girl who keeps on crying
Keeps on crashing
Keeps on trying
But I know
That’s why we can’t be friends
(I’m sorry, Beau)

[Bridge]
If I stay
I’ll keep on leaning
Till I bend you out of shape
If I go
At least you’re free to
Find a heart that doesn’t take
So I’ll walk away still needing you
Leave the messages unread
Love you from a quiet distance
Say the words I never said

[Chorus]
I’m sorry
Beau
You were home when I was lost and always hiding
But loving you like this would only turn into colliding
I’m just a girl who keeps on breaking
Can’t stop turning you into a safe haven
So I’ll let you go instead
‘Cause I care too much to pretend
And I know
That’s why we can’t be friends
(I’m sorry, Beau)
