I Should Have Captured and Kept Your Love In My Heart

I stare at your pictures that still hang on my wall
They’ll be there forever until they rot or fall
I held on so tight I forced you to let go
But I still care for you more than you will ever know

When you left you tore my soul apart
I should have captured and kept your love in my heart

I see you around with someone other than me
I hope there good to you and that you’re truly happy
Don’t let them make the same mistakes like I had to live
Tell them to open up inside and always be ready to give.

When you left you tore my soul apart
I should have captured and kept your love in my heart

Learn from each other and don’t bottle anger and hate
You’ll be together forever if that’s your fate
Trust in each other don’t live the lie
Share everything so you don’t have to say goodbye
 
When you left you tore my soul apart
I should have captured and kept your love in my heart
