Story Behind The Song

In Sept 06 I split up with my girlfriend after she found me in bed with her best friend. I really loved her and it was a stupid mistake and it wasn't until it all happened and everything blew up that I realised the consequences of my actions.

Song Description

Song describing the torture of losing someone you love due to your own stupidity

Lyrics

I Swear to god this was my only offence
That's no excuse I know I have no defence
I broke your heart and tore your whole world apart
But don't think I had this planned from the start

I ask myself how could I do what I've done
To you and me, the kids and everyone
Damned if I don't I guess, and damned if I do
But that don't explain what I did to you

But you'll be okay
You'll love again
You've got your family
And lots of other friends
I'll live with regret
Crawl back on the shelf
Knowing my part in our downfall
Was being myself

I can't explain what I was thinking that night
Should know the difference between wrong and what's right
Guess my libido got the better of me
And my angel gave in too easily

I tell myself that this was all for the best
Just god's way of putting me to the test
I didn't really put up much of a fight
And I'll regret it for the rest of my life

But you'll be okay
You'll love again
You've got your family
And lots of other friends
I'll live with regret
Crawl back on the shelf
Knowing my part in our downfall
Was being myself

I had to tell you though I knew what that would do
It was the hardest thing I've ever done
But it was time for me to finally tell the truth

I always thought you might forgive me someday
That all the love we shared might somehow prevail
But I destroyed it all with one foolish act
And now I have to live with the fact

That you don't want me calling round anymore
No pleading letters quietly pushed through your door
Some other guy will soon be wearing my shoes
And I hope he takes much better care of you

But you'll be okay
You'll love again
You've got your family
And lots of other friends
I'll live with regret
Crawl back on the shelf
Knowing my part in our downfall
You'll be okay
Make a new life
Find a good man
And you'll make a great wife
I'll meet someone else
There's lots in the sea
I'll know my part in our downfall
Was being myself
