Another Day
Another day has come and gone without you by my side, another day without getting to look into your eyes
I know you said it’s better off this way, for us to continue to lead the lives we led, before fate stepped in that day
I’m so sorry, I can’t let you go, I’m sorry that I can’t say goodbye, you’ll always be in my heart, until the day I die
I miss you so much, I would give anything to hear your voice, but you walked away, it’s evidently clear you made your choice
I don’t blame you, in your heart you feel what you did was right, and in mine I know, I’m not the one who is supposed to be by your side
My heart just keeps breaking and the tears continue to fall, I can’t breathe without your love, life just isn’t fair at all
You still say you’re so unhappy, but you must remain by her side, I understand but it doesn’t heal my heart, or erase your memory from my mind
Every day I think of you and hope that you’re doing fine, not a moment goes by, that you’re not on my mind
I just can’t forget you, or the love that we shared, I keep on telling my heart not to care
I keep seeing your face, it’s a vision embedded in my mind, inside I’m falling apart, but, on the outside, I pretend that I’m fine
I just keep remembering all the words you had said, over and over they replay, like a broken record in my head
I keep remembering the way you held me in your arms, how your touch felt so right, in my heart I’ll forever cherish, that night
I miss just hearing your voice, but maybe it’s better off this way, because even though it makes me smile, another piece of my heart breaks away
Another tear falls over the love that was lost, but with my heart, I paid the cost
I let you into my heart, I let you see into my soul, where now inside lies nothing, but a dark barren hole
Why did you tell me you loved me? That you wanted to be with me? If you knew in your heart you couldn’t stay? Why did I let you in? If you were just going to walk away
I know you can’t help what you feel, it just hurts so bad, how could you hurt me this way? Why am I the only one who is sad?
I’m not a selfish person, I knew I had to set you free, I love you so much, all I want for you is happiness, even if it can’t be with me
You once told me you were grateful for the time that we had shared, and even though I deny it, I know deep in my heart that you do care
You told me that I made you feel again, that weren’t completely dead inside, that I gave you hope that someone could love you for you, that I made you feel alive
You opened your heart to me, your love was undisguised, I could read your every emotion just by looking into your eyes
I’ll never forget the first time I saw your face, or the way you look at me, I’ll never forget the side of you that you chose to show to me
The side, that most people doesn’t even know exists, I’ll never forget the way you made me feel just with a gentle kiss
I’ll never understand why what we shared can never be? But I’ll forever in my heart, hold you close to me
I don’t know why it happened? And forever I’ll wonder why? I found a love that burns so strong, or why you chose to say goodbye?
You tell me you still feel for me what I still feel for you, but you’re trying to do what is right, what you need to do
I respect your feelings, and I won’t stand in your way, if you have found happiness with her again, then I’m happy for you, is all I can say
It just hurts that you gave your all to me, and took it all away, saying we just weren’t meant to be
If you truly love her and can live your life and be happy, eternally, I’ll forever love you, but try not to let you see
I want you to go on and be happy, the way you showed me to be, she has always been there, and she deserves your love, not me
Just give her all of you, be the person that I hold dearly to my heart, love her completely, like you once did from the start
I love you so much, I only want what is best for you, and as you say you’re happy now, so I should let go of you
I can’t keep holding on to a memory even though my heart won’t let you go, I must release you from my mind, my heart, and my soul
I’ll always remember you and the way you held me in your eyes, now that I know you’re happy, I can finally say goodbye.
