Know How It Feels

The ache in me cries out your name 
I long to see your face again 
A love for you in my heart glows 
Yet you hurt me so why I don’t know 
I must go on I know this to be true 
 I must learn to live without you 
But in the empty corners of my heart 
 Your memory’s there ripping me apart 
I feel my spirit and soul have died 
 Yet I know that’s not true for I still cry 
 Cry for a love that still burns 
 Cry for the painful lesson I have learned 
 You could never care for me 
You proved it by the way you hurt me 
I trusted you and called you friend 
 I see I was wrong again 
I hope you find a love someday 
And she walks from you in this someway 
 And the pain it leaves you and the despair you feel 
 Know you did it to me and know how it feels.
