Not This Way

I broke a heart last night

Thought it was the right thing to do

Now I realize, with no delight

That I broke my heart too

Shedding tears because I hurt a friend

A friend so true and good

Now the pain will never end

I've done what I swore I never would

In the name of love, honesty and truth

I've been untrue to myself as well

I wish now for the ignorance of youth

What is to be, only time will tell

After seeing what has come of this

Only withering and sorrow in my heart

I see that something is very amiss

This is not how friends should part
