My heart has been broken so many times
That all that remains is a sliver,
And so I've erected a wall to protect it,
A typical defense mechanism.
You were a dream too good to be true,
And so I assumed it was so,
And when the time came that you went away,
I stood silently and watched you go.
I knew the moment we parted,
I'd made the biggest mistake of my life,
And that's a decision, of this I'm sure,
That I'll regret for the rest of my life.
How could I've been so stupid?
Why could I not see?
You were everything I've ever dreamed,
And madly in love with me.
Why couldn't I just trust in your love,
Or believe in your loyalty?
You'd done nothing to deserve otherwise,
But I was too jaded to see.
Many years have come and gone
Since that faithful day,
Yet everyday that's come to pass
I've loved you just the same.
I've finally come to realize,
No matter what I do,
That even with my dying breath
I'll still be in love with you.
