I Loved You

I gave you all I had
And you took it all away,
It was what I wanted at first
So I never did complain.

I told you what I needed
You said, "I'm here to stay"
You promised you wouldn't hurt me
Like he tore me apart that day.

I wished and hoped and prayed
That we would always be,
You would soon express your feelings
Why couldn't I just see?

But I didn't see it coming
It hit me by suprise,
I pictured you as my world
But all you were, was lies.

It was hard for me at first
To act like everything was fine,
But when I saw you across the room
I still felt like you were mine.

You still belonged to me
So why was she on your arm?
Why wasn't it me there
You were giving her all your charm.

I quickly turned away
Afraid of what I might do,
You were doing it out of jealousy
Cause you still loved me too.

Why didn't we just talk it out
Like we always had before?
It would have been so easy
But now, you have shut the door.

I can't believe I fell so hard
For she had loved you too,
We were fighting for your attention
But she had something to hold you.

When I saw you glance my way
We quickly caught our eyes,
The look you gave burned through me
It reminded me of all your lies.

So now it's time for me
to get on without you,
It was a hard concept to grasp
But it's something I had to do.

For such a long time before
You were all I knew,
But now I'm slowly learning
I'm moving away from you.

It's hard for me to say this
I know it hurts you too,
It's time for me to go
But I honestly loved you.
