Never right

What am I supposed to say? You just up'ed and ran away.
What am I supposed to do? You told me you wanted to hear the truth.
I know that it hurt you, and I'm sorry for that fact.
But I wanted to be straight up. There's no way I can take it back.

[chorus]
I hate to see you crying, but this had to happen.
I'm sorry I broke your heart. I know you probably hate me.
I hate to see you crying, but this had to happen.
I'm sorry I broke your heart. It was never right from the start.

Go ahead and call me a prick. I probably deserve it.
Didn't want to push something fake, so I said what I had to say.
I hope that we can be friends, but that's only in my dreams.
From that first kiss, I knew you were deceived. What else could I say? I didn't want to live a lie.
I couldn't parade around like everything's alright.
Instead I chose the truth. That's how much I cared for you.
Now you hate me. You wish that I'd just die.
