I told you and I made it go away

 I told you that I loved you when I didn't know how much I loved you and didn't even think of how I would feel awful if I lost you. 

I then I made it worse as told you I was in love with you. 

And all that just to make you go away and set you free from me. 

It's indeed as Chaplin said and it's all looking quite ridiculous now.
