The English makes sense to me, but that may just be because it was me who wrote it
It's quite awkward English at best but I wasn't sure how to translate this kind of sentence (Along with a lot of the other sentences in this song)
Now you have shown me your translation I can see that the meaning is basically the same as the ～ば～ほど structure
(Or so it seems)
I should have known how to translate this really.
But I guess that's what happens when you stop studying for 6 months.

The nuance here is that the guy failed to follow through on it.

Ah I see.
I wondered what the actual meaning of this was.
Thank you for telling me about this nuance; it would have taken me a long time to find out by myself.

I think my problem here was that I wasn't sure who was hurting who, which lead to my guessing and bad translation.
Despite the fact that I have made a lot of mistakes, I have, and still am learning a lot from just trying to understand this one song.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate you help you have given me
Thank you.
