The Failure Is Not On Me

So this is the letter that I never sent you, the words that I never said

I don´t know if this could have ended differently. Sometimes I wish I could go back and erase every bad thing I ever said

Still, this failure is not on me
I understand that this could never have worked out
You came in carrying your past, as did I
Every word ever exchanged was always a reminder
Each sigh, every touch, each glance, threw us back

You couldn´t let go and I couldn´t let you in

Remember the hours we spent with The Smiths - it makes me choke
Repeating the lines of This Charming Man, brings up the scent of you
And it all ends up in a cycle of absence for a love that could never last

There was always a part of you I could never reach
Still I tried, tried, tried, too many times

Still, this failure is not on me
I understand now that this could never have worked out
You came in carrying your past, as did I
Every word ever exchanged was always a reminder
Each sigh, every touch, each glance, threw us back

You could´nt let go and I couldn´t let you in

All I have left now are the memories of you, of me and Morrissey and with them, I will end what I never told you
