i must have loved you.

i know you try your hardest to give me what i need;
you show me where your heart is; mine needs time to breathe
it may not broken, but it's far from fine...
the sweetest words you've spoken will help it mend in time...

To tell you truth, I've said it before: tomorrow I start in a new direction. I look straight at what’s coming ahead and soon it’s gonna change in a new direction. One last time, these words from me; I’m never saying them again.

Can I have my cake? Can I have you too? Would you follow me? Could I ask you to? Would the world between us break these ties we’ve worked so hard to realize? Can a postcard say what I see in your eyes?

i’ve got a story; it’s almost finished.. now all i need is someone to tell it to—maybe that’s you. .... you should just be here; be with me here. it doesn’t seem there’s hope for me—i let you down.. but i won’t give in now, not for any amount.

Just turn around; turn away from me… before i lose my head. just turn around but remember me, and how you left me dead inside….
