You know that there’ve been times
When you have crossed my mind
As I recall the love that didn’t last.
And late at night I’ve cried,
Because, although I’ve tried,
I can’t erase the memories of the past.
And it’s getting hard for me to
Keep a smile each time you’re near me.
Every time I try to touch you,
You pull away as if you fear me.
I have tried to say “I love you”,
But I know that you don’t hear me.
Now I’ve given up on trying,
So I’ll just go.
Well, I wish that you could love me
Half as much as I still need you,
But the way that you have hurt me
Makes it harder to believe you.
And I wish that you would hold me
One more time before I leave you,
But I’d only leave you crying,
So I’ll just go.
No I don’t want to leave you crying,
So I’ll just go.
