The One Thing You Took From Me
I've broken our agreement by getting too attached
I let myself fall deeper, thinking we were a perfect match
And you said to push aside my fears & do what I did not dare
Tell you the truth -- what I really want -- put myself out there
So in tears, I fell beside you; I told you "I'm your girl--
And you're the one, the guy I choose of all those in this world"
With those caring eyes, you looked at me, glad you knew the truth
You said "I'm sorry, girl, I think your sweet, but I'm still much in my youth"
And now, I sit here in a puddle of emotions as you part
You left all that was inside me, except one, you took--my heart
