If You Can

My grinding heart
so empty inside
these welling tears
i try to hide

my inner self
is showing true
i realize now
how ive hurt you

the fault was yours
or so i thought
being in your life
was what i sought

before you knew me
you were so alive
only a year later
you\'re wanting to die

i have memorized
the look on your face
and i realize
its not my place

youre better off without me
youre better off alone
youre better off without
my repetitive heart of stone

you envy my life with him
but i envy yours
youre so brave to move on
and i would like nothing more

i wish i could tell you
why i act this way
but these feelings in my heart
i could never explain

i could never tell you
how sorry i truly am
but please remember me
and love me if you can
