A Love That Is Gone

If I asked you to take my hand... Would you promise to try and understand? There used to be betrayal and lies With that came the secrets and alibis The love that we once had shared Was the profession of love we declared Then came that dreaded painful day He just up and went away That was something I would've never predicted Does he realize the pain he's inflicted Now he chooses to treat me like dirt And expects my heart not to feel the hurt There's always weakness and tears in my eyes Which should never really come as a surprise Do you know what I'm waiting for? Just for my heart to stop being sore... And having to live each day with a sigh Knowing someday I'm going to hear the word *GOODBYE* Until then I'll continue to nurse my shattered heart Now that he's decided that we're better off apart
