I'm Going To Stop Pretending That I Didn't

Eels · Blinking Lights & Other Revelations [2005]

I'm gonna tell you what you need to hear

And I'm a little too late, about three or four years

And it may not make much sense now that we are apart

But I'm going to stop pretending that I didn't break your heart



You see I never thought enough of myself to realise

That losing me could mean something like the tears in your eyes

And I wanna tell you I'm sorry, and it's too late to start

But I'm going to stop pretending that I didn't break your heart



And it's Christmas Eve, years down the line

Sitting here wishing I'd treated you better when you were mine

And I have no way of knowing where you are

But I'm going to stop pretending that I didn't break your heart



I didn't mean to hurt you, I didn't know what I was doing

But I know what I've done
