My eyes burn from the sting of the tears
That I have been weeping throughout these years
But just today you gave me the most sorrow I’ve ever had
And you‘re gone now and I‘m alone, being sad
I wish I could only change your mind
And get us both out of this bind
Then when I think back on what we could have been
I wish we could only start over again
And now I am left with all this pain
Without you I am going insane
This feeling gets stronger every minute
It’s been so long, I forget how to begin it
She says she has no feelings of love left for me
And I cannot even begin to see
Why she would lead me to believe I was her one love
But then again, love is something only sent from above
Now she is out of my life forever it appears
And I am left with only the lost years
To grow and learn but something won’t be right
The love that was once mine is now lost in the night
Time has gone by
Only to prolong
The terrible pain
I have felt so long
And while she lays there
Without ache in her heart
I sit in bed- Wide awake
Hating every moment we are apart
But there is nothing more I can do
She has come again
And left once more
Leaving me thinking of how it could have been
Could have been if she had given what she promised
One thing I truthfully needed
Time was the only thing
But the love we had was blinded
Blinded by the light of hatred
This I know
Hate or love
That’s not the only way to go
And even though it will drive me insane
To see her in any pain
She must understand
All I can give her is one hand
One hand to lift her up
And take her in
One hand could make her mine again
And once again, it could all begin
But this hand is not good enough for her
She must be set free to roam and stir
Go amongst the waiting men
And now I can’t even start to love again
All I’ve learned from love
Is that you only can get hurt in the end
Unless it’s special
Then the rules of love could bend
Bend to make something that is perfect
Infinite in warmth and beauty
That’s what I thought I had
But I was to blind to see
I wish you only could see
How much you truly meant to me
But I have to wait here idly by
As I have been, since you said, “Goodbye”
My eyes burn from the sting of the tears
That I have been weeping throughout these years
But just today you gave me the most sorrow I’ve ever had
And now I am left with these tears, all alone, being sad
