I Wish I Could Give You My Love, But I Can'T-

I wish I could give you my love, but I can’t…
You may go and misuse it again…

I used to think that every time you glared, you were mad at me
But now I’ve come to see that you weren’t mad, instead you hated me
I should’ve known that you did, because after a while you changed
You don’t want to hug, kiss, or even look at my face

I wish I could give you my love but I can’t
You had to change suddenly
How am I supposed to continue to love you?
I wish I could give you my love but I can’t
You may go and misuse it again
But not I’m stronger and I don’t…need you anymore!

All those fond memories we had meant something to me
But the question is, are those memories false or real?
Why did you have to lie? Why did you lead me astray?
Either way you shattered my heart

I wish I could give you my love, but I can’t
You had to throw it to the wayside
Now that it’s lost, how are you going to find it?
I wish I could give you my love but I can’t
It’s like the breeze that blows in the night
And it’s blowing away quickly…how are you going to get it back now?

Where is your heart…?
Why is it longing…?
Longing for my return…
I have no reason to even look at you…

I wish I could give you my love but I can’t
You had to throw it to the wayside
Now you want what’s lost to be returned to you
Forget it now, it’s gone forever
You will never get it back from me
Go find someone else to torment
Because I’m gone forever on!
