The asshole in me

Maybe I am the asshole in this whole story
I could see it happening
You falling in love with me
And I let yourself do it
Even knowing I could not correspond
Knowing I was hooked to a friend of yours
That you knew nothing about it
I really wanted to like you
You are perfect in so many ways
But, unfortunately, I cannot feel the flame
Out of my control
I thought that with time I could light it up
And then your question came
I had to tell you the truth
Trying not to hurt you
I am still obsessed about your friend
As much as I didn't want to
I hurt you
It got me all apprehensive
To think I could cause you so much pain
I guess I do like you a lot in some way
Or I wouldn't care that much
Or it wouldn't hurt me so much
To think that you were sad
