Oh why did I ask?
When I already knew?
Why didn't I stay silent?
Like I told myself to?
I knew what you would say
I knew I wouldn't want to know
But I asked you anyways
And heard you answer "no".
The pain I feel has no bounds
My heart has ceased to beat
My lungs constricted draw no breath
I no longer feel your heat.
Though miles away you kept me warm
Just my memories of you
I hoped that maybe somehow
I was warming your soul too.
My soul feels like a heavy stone
My heart a block of ice
I wish to be rid of them both
I am paying love's cruel price.
When you asked me I had to think
But I honestly said "yes"
When I asked you you broke my heart
But your honesty was best.
