next to you.

By toy soldier

i sit here thinking
thinking of what to say
what to say to make
make your pain go away

all you ever gave me
is just what any one would want
and when you'd say i love you
i played it nonchalant

but now its too late
late to take it back
because im the one that made
made your heart become so black

and now i see you're happy
its hard to say, but true
you're much happier with out me
standing next to you.

The repetition of words definitely adds to the hesitation and feeling of regret behind this... I enjoyed how it moved from compassion to nonchalance to guilt... it was both masterful and simple.
