I can see the pain in your eyes.

I can see the pain in your eyes, it's right there, reminding me of what I've done. I am the betrayer, I put this hurt on you, you never deserved to feel this way. I don't have any excuses, I can't say it was a mistake, because I knew exactly what I was doing. The regret I feel chokes me, I have no words I can say, nothing that can erase what I've done. I wish you'd hate me, I wish you'd turn away, I wish you'd say you never want to see me again. Because sitting here, watching you accept this, is killing me. I know you deserve better, I know that better should have been me, but it wasn't. I can say I'm sorry, but even though I mean it, they're just empty words. No one likes a cheater, no one should.
