I’m dying but I understand

[Verse 1]
Here I am again
Thinking of you
Softly, in the back of my mind
But oftentimes
I can't shake you off me
Parasite, know too harsh
You're the love of my life
Say goodnight, turn off the lights

[Verse 2]
And leave me to sleep
Have I not done enough good deeds
Haven't I helped you see
You're more than your sadness allows you to be
Sweet release
Sweet release

[Verse 3]
I made you wait
I said you could go
But I knew you'd stay
Am I selfish? Wait
Please don't say, the point is that
I've changed, I've changed
Don't you want me?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
(I'm sorry)
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
(I'm sorry)

[Verse 4]
But you got a man
I heard it's new
But it's still true
That you got a man
And clearly he isn't me
So what am I missing, goddamn?
Did I miss you by
A couple months
Or a couple of years
Either way, now I'm here

[Verse 5]
But it's too late
I've sat you down
With tears on my face
And you looked away
You held me close
And I heard you say
That right now you can't
You need to give new love a chance
Girl, I'm dying but I understand
I'm dying but I understand
