Parting Wish

I opened myself up to you, 
I bared my very soul; 
I gave to you all that I had, 
eveything as a whole. 

I said for better or for worse, 
I would always be by your side; 
But now you've closed the door on me, 
oh the rivers I have cried. 

I know that I was selfish, 
at times I thought of only me; 
Now the price of my actions, 
is alone I now must be. 

Is there no chance left for us? 
Please look deep inside; 
Is it true that you'r love for me, 
has long since up and died? 

For if this is the case, 
then I will wish you all the best; 
Of joy love and peace, 
and for your heart sweet rest.
