But I Do

Sitting in the room
Still smelling your perfume 
Sitting here long after 
Missing your laughter
Wishing you'd stay
But not today
Long So much 
For your loving touch
So here I wait
Myself sometimes I hate
Think I'm not strong
Is this wrong
Sit there at night
Wanting to hold you tight
Can feel the longing in my heart
Everytime we part
Knew how it would be
It could never be We
Lost I'm the memories you leave behind
Didn't think I'd find
Someone that stayed on my mind
Sitting here missing you
Even though I know that you'd  never be true
I wish I could just walk away
Or find the words to make you stay
Don't know what to do
With a heart that don't be true
Love wasted
Pain tasted
Teardrops hitting the pillow where you just layed
My heart you played
Why do I love you
Wish I knew
But I do
