I Don'T Want To Love You

I awake each day with you on my mind
Knowing you’re time is hours behind
So I imagine it’s me sleeping next to you 
And it’s me you still love, not someone new

I talk to you all the time as if you were near  
Seeing you in my mind, but your not really here
You’re on my mind as I constantly pace the floor
Still loving you, with all my heart, just as I did before

But I don’t want to love you…anymore

I know your gone forever, and there’s nothing I can do
You moved on with your life, and found someone new
Somebody else will live the life planned for just us two

So, I don’t want to love you…anymore

If I go on this way, loving without love returned
I will lose my mind, without a lesson learned 
So I must stop holding on to a love that is through
Stop trying to relive the past and crying over you 

So, I don’t want to love you… anymore

But deep within I want to hold you and love for real
I want to hear you say the words that you used to feel
I want to hold your hand, just as we used to do
I want to hear again, “I’ll always love you”

The time we shared together brought joy and happiness
The time you were in my life made life the very best
I don’t want to love you anymore, but it’s true I guess

I will never ever love you... any less
