Gotta get this off my chest...

I still can't believe it...





I've still got it bad but I'm trying to say goodbye,

But I can't pretend that I don't love you- Cuz that'd be a lie.

I still wonder why- Why didn't we last?

We had our problems- But they weren't that bad.

You weren't that sad- I still imagine holding your hand,

And the memories from the day- You wrote our name in the sand.

I guess the water washed it away- And the memories will fade,

But I will never forget the 365+ days- Of my life that I gave.

And I dedicated to you- And if everything else in the world is a lie,

I know that our love was true- And that's the truth.

But we were just youth- But I still miss you.

There's not a day that passes- That I don't ask myself,

What did I do wrong- Or was it something else.

I try not to blame myself- But it's not that easy,

'Cuz I'm still stuck on you- But you don't need me.

And believe me- My life has been off track,

Since the day you left- And I haven't gotten it back.

Everything's so out of whack- Damn I want you back.

I know that "I Can't Love You No More"- Well, that I don't want to,

But it doesn't change the fact that I still want you.

Everyday I pick up the phone- And I think of giving you a call,

Then I remember- That would be like taking a fall.

Right back to the start- Right back to having a "Confused Heart",

I know which path I want to take- But damn, it's so hard.

Everyday is a struggle- A battle against my heart,

A battle to finish this journey that I never wanted to start.

The tears leaking down my face- Is a symbol of the pain,

It's slowly leaving- And each tear, is engraved with your name.

Because as I cry, I think of you- As I begin to close the door,

And I keep reminding myself- That I can't love you no more.
