The Greater Good

When I looked into your eyes
my heart it broke in two
They were just so beautiful
But I knew what I had to do.

Even though I love you
please try to understand
That I did it for a reason
not coz we didn't like the same band.

I know that you were faithful
I know you did not stray
But even though I know that
this feeling just won't go away.

I had to dump you
I know it was for the best
Now you can be free and happy
and date around like the rest

Now you've found another girl
they say you'll be married in spring
Oh please oh please tell me
you didn't give me that exact same ring!

The day I told you the sad news
you walked away in pain
And I started to cry and cry
I just stood there in the rain.

I never meant to hurt you
I just thought u needed to be free
I realised that night you were over
and I was sitting on your knee.

The look in your eyes
wasn't the same as the day I met you
There was a look of emptiness
and that's when I knew I had to.

Please forgive me
for I love you and always will
I wish I could get you out of my heart
but forever you'll stay there still.
