It Can'T Be Over

It can't be over

You say you can't trust me,
that, suddenly I've changed
what gives you that impression?
it's you that's acting strange!

You know I've always loved you,
more than anyone can
you've been my one and only
and I am still your man

Chorus

I can see you're on your way,
slipping...away from me
starting your new life...
and I'm not in your plans
you really took me by surprise
whatever happened to forever?
It can't be over,
cause I just don't understand.


Why can't you believe me,
there's no one else but you,
I guess, you never knew me
if you think I could betray you!

We've lived our life in stages,
beat the drama, beat it all,
I can see you've won best actress
it's our love's final curtain call


Chorus

I can see you're on your way,
slipping...away from me
starting your new life...
and I'm not in your plans
you really took me by surprise...
whatever happened to forever?
It can't be over,
cause I just don't understand.


There's a war inside you,
I can see it in your eyes
I love you more than ever,
is this how our love dies?

You must fight your delusion,
that leaving is your fate,
I pray, that you'll believe me,
and come back... before it's too late.


Chorus

I can see you're on your way,
slipping...away from me
starting your new life...
and I'm not in your plans
you really took me by surprise...
whatever happened to forever?
It can't be over,
cause I just don't understand.

Repeat chorus
fade to zero

John, how I wish I could hear your lyrics with tunes to them. I bet they would sound so awesome. Thanks for my win in your last contest. You do a lot for the community by sponsoring contests. I drifted away from doing it but I admire those who keep on!

A very sad love song poem you wrote. Maybe she needs time to think things out. Maybe she will return to you one day. Who knows. A sad love song. Have a nice evening my friend.

Hi John, You are an amazing song writer. You write from the heart and that is why many relate to your heartfelt words. I am so sorry to hear this is true:( Alexis

Thanks Alexis, I appreciate the confidence in the writing, songs come easier to me than poetry. Yes it's a sad situation, will be a test of our love and devotion.
