As I sit here alone tonight I think,
about all the times together we've had.
I think about special moments shared,
and wonder how love could go so bad.
One of the things I loved the most,
one special thing I hope never to forget.
Was the passion we shared between us,
creating a love I now live to regret.
I've thought about it a million times,
and today I'm confused about what I see.
How could you destroy something so pure, so good,
and not once consider what it would do to me.
Now when I think about the love we shared,
I question weather what we had was real.
Real love doesn't seek perfection and it forgives,
it's about knowing how the other person will feel.
I loved you...in every sense of the word,
deep within my heart, I love you today.
But this love is not something I want to keep,
love is best when you give it away.
I trusted you when I gave you my heart,
I wore my emotions on my sleeve.
But instead of caring for the heart that gave,
you broke it and left me here to grief.
So here I sit alone without you,
I'm a woman with a broken heart.
Shall I cry myself to sleep tonight...
no way...I'm looking to make a fresh start.
