Seeing you cry for the first time
Don't you think I know how you feel?
You've seen me cry before
Over ones I've loved
I never told you
But they were also for you
Because I didn't love you
Not like I loved him

I can't bring myself to explain
As I see the shine in your eyes
I know what it means
I wish I could take away the pain
Even if you knew why
You wouldn't hate me
You deserve much more than this
A lifetime of unreserved love

You walk away
I feel my heart tear more
I want to love you
But he's still in my heart
I couldn't pretend I forgot him
That I don't love him
Another regret to look back on
Never forgetting as much as I want

If I could come back wholeheartedly
I would do it right away
I would tell you how I feel
Every reason why I left
I don't want you to hurt more
Not because of me
I'd spare you pain forever if I could
But I can't

This moment in time
When you fade from view
I watch with unshed tears
Hurting too bad for words
I know this is my fault
I can't take it back
Time will work its magic
On us both
You'll find a a girl to love you better
Who won't think of another

It took me so long to realize
How much I love you
What I wanted
Was your everything
My heart got the best of me
I called you crying
Wanting to apologize
Only to find your thanks
All I could do was hang up
Letting loose all those unshed tears.
