When will this heartache ever go away?
I long for you every day by day
I want to tell you the way I feel
But every time I try, it's just to hard to deal
Hard to deal with the way you held me tight
How everything always felt so right
Hard to deal with the fact
That I love you and you don't love me back
Now that I realize the mess that I'm in
I couldn't help but wonder if you're the one who kept me in
Your love was so satisfying, so warm and strong
It made me feel as if I could do no wrong
Then you had to leave me
Like a fish out in the open sea
That was the day you said good-bye
The day you broke my heart and made me cry
You broke my heart for another girl
You speak of her as if she's a shining pearl
But what about me? How could you have forgotten?
About the one you once loved and now look at her as rotten
How can you just dump those memories down the drain?
You can't pretend they never happened and try to hide the pain
I know you must feel some sadness inside
But you're trying so hard to cover it on the outside
Why can't you just admit it and get it off your chest
It would make us both feel better and at rest
I just need to hear you say it once
Because right now I really feel like a big dunce
Just say ' I love you ' for the very last time
Then I can end this sad, sad rhyme
I love you ______ without regret
But now you're playing hard-to-get
I know you don't feel the same way about me
I only want you to know how much I love thee
When will this heartache ever go away?
The day you say you love me back, that's the only way
