From the start I set myself up for the fall.
All alone by the phone waiting for you to call.
All your love and affection - somehow erased.
Left me missing your kiss and the smile on your face.
And no matter how much or how truly I tried,
my demands for your hand were discreetly denied.
So I clung to the love that I felt in my heart,
In the near haunting fear we were drifing apart.
When you locked up your love and shared nothing with me,
I went to you to make one desperate plea.
I ran to your side and I looked in your eyes,
my heart fell apart when you kissed me goodbye.
Yet just when I thought I could feel no more pain
a new tale of betrayal fell upon me like rain.
Though my will tried to tell me it just couldn't be,
we both knew it was true; you had cheated on me.
I sat in my corner, my heart filled with shame,
I asked why as I cursed this man's name.
What was ther eason you spoiled my trust?
Was it need, greed, boredom or lust?
Had wasted my love, you had wasted my time.
You wasted my faith with your casual crime.
WHen you hid all your love in a sinister lie,
once again you kissed me goodbye.
I still loved you and asked for one final chance
a new start for our hearts to remember romance.
I offered forgiveness for what you had done
for I knew that we had a place in the sun.
And i offered my love unconditionally,
but you needed your freedom, you didn't need me.
Though you stayed and I prayed when our loving was tough,
THough I gave like a slave it just wasn't enough.
SO I cried in pain as I begged you to stay
and I spoke of my love as you poushed me away.
You told me your sorry but didn't say why
I just cried when you kissed me goodbye.
Now I'm all alone, though I'm thinking of you.
As I dwell on the hell that you put me through.
Though I'm still in love and my hope is alive,
I still know even so that my soul will survive.
I can't helpo but ownder - will you forget
or look back on this act with remorse and regret?
Or could we, after time and a few million tears,
rediscover the love that I held for you?
You were my love, my best friend, my life
my partner in heartbreak, in joy and in strife
If i'm strong and willing I know I'll get by
I can live if I give you a last kiss goodbye.
