I can't say
I love you
or I ever did
like I used to
though I know
my voice says so
act like
you don't know
what I mean
you left me
you asked for out
of my team
so to speak
so please
that hurt enough...

I remember when
I was trying to
give in and
mold myself from
what I was
to what you
wanted to be with
only to be met
by raised voices
and cold comments
so I said
"you win -
but can I at least
till be your friend?"

Now you kinda
every now and then
smile when you talk bout
back then
when you didn't do
anything close before
and I found out
my soul wonders
does your heart
love me more
and was it your mind
that felt like
we ran out of time?
cause in your world
I remember...
I learned early that love
was a crime

still you left me
and I loved you enough
to let you go
say thank you for what
we had and helping me grow
now cause I accepted
what we were
I gotta act like I
don't know
like I
don't love you still
like it didn't
hurt like hell
that you left me

and choose the joy
of knowing your loyalty
over the pain
of what we couldn't be...
