I Will Always Love You

If I tell you that I love you, is it a sin?
Or is it just my punishment for letting you in?

I let you get so close to my heart,
Then just stood by and watched as you tore it apart.

I know in my heart that this isn�t true.
I know in my heart that it wasn�t you.

It�s me, it�s always been me.
I was the problem, but I just couldn�t see.

I was the one who pushed you away.
Now you�re the one that has the final say.

No matter what I do or how hard I cry,
I can�t change the fact that you said goodbye.

I poured my heart and soul into loving you.
But I know there�s just too much that I put you through.

All this time, It�s been me.
I had the chance to set you free.

But instead I kept you under my wing,
Just because you were the only one listening.

I put so much pressure on you to be perfect,
And now I know that it wasn�t even worth it.

I loved and lost, and it hurts to know,
That now I have to live without you, as I watch you go.

We both wish we could turn back the hands of time,
And go back to when lessons were taught through a simple nursery rhyme.

There�s no turning back, no changing your mind,
And that�s what I love about you; you�re one of a kind.

It just hurts to know that you�ll never be there.
You�ll never know how much I truly care.

You�re gone. I�ve lost you,
And there�s nothing I can do.

It�s not your fault or your responsibility,
That I wasted the perfect opportunity.

I chose misery
Over you loving me.

I chose confrontation
Over simple communication.

I feel miserable for the pain I put you through,
I was so naive and confrontation was all I knew.

I thought it was the perfect way to show you how I feel,
But instead I have a broken heart that may never heal.

Even though you don�t feel the same way I do,
Til the end of time, my heart will always be with you.

I�ll cherish all the good times we shared,
And never forget the way you cared.

You were my hero, my knight in shining armor, even when you didn�t need to be.
You were my everything, my guardian angel, always looking out for me.

There is no one that could ever do the things you do,
And for the rest of my life, I will always love you.
