I Hope That You'Ll Be Happy

It's over now I realize,
as you walk out the door.
I don't know how it happened,
but you don't love me anymore.
I thought your love was deep as mine, 
but I guess that wasn't true.
It seems you never loved me dear,
as much as I loved you.

Your cheating, broke my heart in two.
It turned your love around.
I hope that you'll be happy, dear
with the new love you have found.

Both my eyes are full of tears.
My heart is full of pain.
I don't know why you turned on me,
but it's driving me insane!
I thought that you were happy dear,
cause we had such great plans.
I never once suspected, 
you were slipping through my hands!

Your cheating, broke my heart in two.
It turned your love around.
I hope that you'll be happy, dear
with the new love you have found.

I'll do my best to carry on
but it's difficult, you see,
to turn someone you really love,
into just a memory.
I'm trying to convince my heart,
it has to let you go.
I know it's gonna take some time,
how long, I just don't know.

Your cheating, broke my heart in two.
It turned your love around.
I hope that you'll be happy, dear
with the new love you have found.

This is a wonderful song about the hurtfulness of cheating and yet the guy wishes her well. The way you worked it around that refrain was good and excellent rhythm too! LUv, Andrea
