I Love You's I Wish I Never Said

I love you, I said with a heart full of hope, Dreaming of a future with you. But now, looking back, I wish I had coped, With the pain that came into view. I love you, I said with a heart full of trust, Believing you'd never let me down. But now, looking back, it's clear I must, Have been blinded by my own crown. I love you, I said with a heart full of joy, Basking in the warmth of your embrace. But now, looking back, I feel like a toy, Used up and tossed aside without a trace. I love you, I said with a heart full of faith, Believing you'd always be true. But now, looking back, I see your wraith, Haunting me with all that we knew. I love you, I said with a heart full of pride, Thinking we were meant to be. But now, looking back, I see how we lied, To ourselves and to each other, you see. I love you, I said with a heart full of hope, But now, looking back, I see my mistake. I wish I had known how to cope, With the heartbreak that was soon to take. So now, looking forward, I vow to be wise, And think twice before I say those words again. For I've learned the hard way that love can disguise, A pain that can break a heart, my friend.
