We Failed To Last Forever
There you stood right in front of me
Close enough to touch, close enough to kiss
I didn't have to beg or plead
Thought what we had, thought it was you I miss
But I came to find
Those feelings I thought I was hiding deep inside
Was a part of my past I wasn’t sure I was ready to leave behind
But seeing you has really helped me to decide
Just where I go from here
Cuz what I thought I would feel
Those feelings I thought I had didn’t appear
So now with you I have to be real
And what I have to say you're not going to want to hear
But sooner or later the truth must come out
And for me that truth is finally clear
I can't keep living with even the smallest of doubt
A part of me will always care
But life has led us two very separate ways
And the life and love we use to share
Has seen the last of its days
I thought I could walk away from all this
To try to make things work with you
But when we shared that first kiss
That was when I knew
Things with us would never be the same
Between you and me
I thought to see your face or say your name
Would make me see
That it was you, that it had always been you
But after everything that we've been thru
I guess on this we may finally agree
Here in this life is where I belong
And he is the one who has my heart
I know what I did was wrong
And I'm trying to make a fresh start
But I can't do that if I don’t let you go
I hope you understand
The truth to you that much I owe
None of this was planned
A part of me will always love you
How could I not
You were the first man to ever make me say I do
With you I tied the knot
And we thought that would last us forever
Just because we are walking away
I won't ever forget the days we spent together
Maybe one day you will find it in your heart to forgive me
My dear husband, I do love you
But you and I just weren't meant to be!!
