Love Mistakes of a Boy

When we met I was too broken from my childhood to have common sense 
You loved me more than I could comprehend 
I know this is 7 years too late so it's been far too long
But I can only learn how to do right if I admit where I've went wrong 

I always used the excuse that I was young
Which didn't make much sense as I was twenty-two and you were twenty-one 
But It's a well known fact that girls tend to mature quicker
I was more interested in going to the pub with my friends for liquor 

I never cheated, I was always faithful to us
But I was distant and pushed you away because I was unable to love 
You were holding us up but I couldn't shoulder it
I wasted so many chances, that a better man wouldn't have missed 

You couldn't help me to beat my fears because I never told you what I was scared about
I Had a dream about you last night, that's why I decided to write this and share it out
7 years too late, but they say better late than never
I'm the reason our relationship didn't work and why we didn't make it together 

I'm sat here thinking about what I didn't do and what I should do
You gave me your love when I was too damaged to show you that I loved you
You've always had a place in my heart, but due to embarrassment that's a place that I avoid 
I know it's 7 years too late, but this is a grown man apologising for the love mistakes of a boy
