I Once Loved You (And I Always Will)

Something that once seemed so perfect
Leaving me euphoric, everything seemed right
But then you tore it all apart with those words
Thinking of how I loved you leaves me contrite

{But baby can't we fix this mess we created
Try and work past all the betrayal and hate
Do you ever think of me like I think of you
Or recall when we thought we were soulmates}

Trying so hard every single day to move on
Keeping focused on all the anger hurt and rage
Repeating those cruel words you said over again
Trying my hardest to let go and finally disengage

{All those times in your arms mean everything
Your kiss the most sweetest I've ever tasted
Always picturing your smile in my mind
Please don't let everything have been wasted}

What you said was downright cruel, so harsh
Thinking of it, left only with regret and dread
Once thought we'd always be happy together
Now I'm wishing only to move on instead

{Still memories constantly flit through my mind
Holding hands, sweet kisses, when we smiled
Funny how things changed so drastically fast
What was this relationship but full of guile}

Now tears fall silently in this broken heart
{Remember how perfect together we used to be}
Still can't help wishing things were different
{But together all that's caused is misery}
