You whispered you loved me
I couldn’t say no
When you asked me to sneak out
No one would know
I’m jumpy and shaking
Take my hand, hold it tight
Don’t play with my heart strings
As were kissing under the street light

Our love is a gift
Let’s cherish it while we can
That smile just kills me
You really know who I am
Your beautiful dark hair
Lies upon your pink shirt
You’re perfect and loving
I wrote I love you in the dirt

Were talking, your different
Please just pick up your phone
I’m worried please call me
You can explain when I’m alone
You don’t love me?
Your lying!
I believed you
I’m crying

So it’s over? Not for me
It’s hard to explain
What am I supposed to do
When I just wanna keep loving you
A promise is a promise
You promised your love
You’re gone now I hate this
You left with a shove

I ache and I moan
Will I ever be the same?
I dream of the past now
You have no feelings of shame
My soul sings a sad song
My guitar plays the tune
Of a girl who once came about
And broke a heart much too soon

But I’ll try to move on now
Good friends dull the pain
Though broken I’m standing
I’m watching out the window pane
I see you and wonder
Was this all just a dream?
No it happed I feel the scar
I hold in a painful scream

No one said loving was easy
You don’t think we could have pulled through?
I had faith in our relationship
I would have done all there was to do
Well you can’t change what’s been
Though I ache too
Even though I’m broken
I’ll keep walking thinking of me and you

wow, this is great. It really shows how you feel and what you've gone through. I'm sorry though, it's not fun to go through that. Trust me, I know
