A guilty mind never rests

The one ex I broke up with because I had to, not because I wanted to.

Here we are again,

back where it all began.

Have I really changed, 

beyond your recognition? 

Have I become the person

you always feared I'd be?

You always warned me

I'd lose myself becoming free.

Who did you think you were?

The only one who knew,

who could read through me,

acting like my only savior?

I'm at a loss now.

I wanted you in my life,

no matter what role,

but there's nothing left.

I know now people leave,

everyone drifts apart.

They always let you down

and they break your heart.

Every time I come back

I'm reminded of you.

Even though time has passed

all the memories feel brand new.

I hate returning home.

Walking through our town,

the old haunts we used to roam,

Savoring each sight and sound.

You hate me for leaving

But there was nothing I could do.

So now I have to suffer,

for doing what I had to.

And I'll always feel guilty

about choosing myself over you.
