Lyrics
I keep your favorite shirt beside me when I try to sleep at night,
I haven't washed your scent away — I'm scared to lose the fight.
You loved me at my softest and you loved me at my worst,
And I broke the gentlest heart that ever loved me first.
And every silent morning, every shadow on the floor,
Is me missing what I had and wishing I could love you more.
I'm sorry I hurt you, I mean it from the start,
You were the kindest love that ever held my heart,
And if you let me back, I'll learn to love you slow —
I'm sorry I hurt you. Please don't let me go.
I used to think tomorrow was a place that we would meet,
I built a thousand promises and forgot to keep them sweet.
You gave me every reason and I gave you every doubt,
And the love I should have spoken is the love I'm crying out.
And every quiet evening, every dinner set for one,
Is me learning what I lost — and oh, what have I done.
I'm sorry I hurt you, I mean it from the start,
You were the kindest love that ever held my heart,
And if you let me back, I'll learn to love you slow —
I'm sorry I hurt you. Please don't let me go.
If I could rewrite every silence I let grow between us two,
I'd fill it with the gentle words I never said to you.
I'd hold your face like something holy, I'd kiss you like a vow —
I'd be the love you always deserved, and I'm begging for it now.
I'm sorry I hurt you, I mean it from the start,
You were the kindest love that ever held my heart,
And if you let me back, I'll learn to love you slow —
I'm sorry I hurt you. God, I love you so.
I'm sorry I hurt you. Please don't let me go.
