I Love You, But

It's your birthday Wonder if you got my card I sent you flowers Celebrate you from afar 'Cause I can't be there If I was, I would have made it special 'Cause you deserve the world Why do breakups Have to always break you too? Is there a future where I'm over you? I love you, but we just can't speak I love you, but it's what we need I love you, but we have to heal I love you, I love you I love you, but I set you free I love you, and I hope you see A world where you come back to me I love you, I love you But I know it's for the best 'Cause right now if I see you Or hear something about you, it sets me back It only serves to remind me That you're not here, and we can't work Until we grow, it only hurts We can't live in in-betweens With maybe-ifs and could-have-beens I love you, but we just can't speak I love you, but it's what we need I love you, but we have to heal I love you, I love you I love you, but I set you free I love you, and I hope you see A world where you come back to me I love you, I love you I'll trust in the universe While you're gone, I'll put in the work Maybe time will be in our favour No contact is hard but better For us in the long term I'm hoping that this all works 'Cause I hate being mature 'Cause what are we doing this for? I love you, but we just can't speak I love you, but it's what we need I love you, but we have to heal I love you, I love you I love you, but I set you free I love you, and I hope you see A world where you come back to me I love you, I love you
