How Can I Cope?

When I first met you I didn’t know what to do You were everything I wanted And I thought you loved me too But unfortunately It wasn’t meant to be Oh, god why couldn’t I see That you weren’t the guy you pretended to be? Do you have any idea how much it hurt me To see you standing there With track marks on your arms? Do you know how much harm you’ve caused me? The stress you put on me is too much for me to bear It isn’t fair after all the time we shared together I thought you’d learnt to trust me a bit better To see you waste away like that Is one of the hardest facts I’ve ever had to deal with At least you tried to deal with it You went away and came back strong and fit We tried again And of course it came to an end You bent over backwards just to please me But you just couldn’t just let it be Can’t you see? That you meant and still mean everything to me? But how can I cope We’ve tried again and again and there isn’t any hope I just want you to know That I will always care
