My heart

I always understood you
and every choice that you made
yet, I still cant seem to grasp that
i was the reason why you stayed

I didn't realize my importance
until time ticked too late
I figured life could be better
If me, you could finally hate

enough blame to go around
yet I blame myself most of all
I saw all the warning signs
i saw you slowly fall

I assumed these were all my fault
so i cut myself from your world
I refused to be a part of you
out of control I swirled


I threw my ring at you
told you we'd never be together
told you to move on with your life
that we'd never have a forever

Told you i didn't love you
told you i hated you so much
all the awful things i said
to get you out of my clutch

the truth of course i hid
I love you more than you knew
I just wanted a happy life for you
enough i had put you through

I like to believe you know the truth now
that i do love you too
I hope someday you'll forgive me
for all i've put you through

I'm still here for you, ya know
For not even death can tear us apart
I love you, I need say it now
you still have my heart
