What You Cannot Say

With every I love you i see the pain reflected in your eyes.
So you cast aside your heart while your real passion
dies.

I love what I should not have and in my
arms I feel your regret.
As it kills me to say darlin.
Sometimes in are happiness we have to cast aside
others and forget.

I see it as clearly as the fading day.
So I sacrifice my heart.
For I know what you cannot say.

You cant care when you could love.
Take no caution.
In this life just take wing as gentle as the dove.

If only it were me so do i wish without a lie.
Your happines has begun.
were this love does die.

I will not have you know the cold
that comes with me.
I give you the strongest act of love.
Happiness for you I wish alone in my misery.

Your tearfull eyes show your true beauthy
For with me happiness will never stay.
Wash thoose regrets for darlin I understand 
what you cannot say.
