With teardrops in my eyes today,

I know it is time that i must say-

The pain I feel within my heart,

I cannot bear while we're apart.

Yet with each day that passes by,

it deepens with each alibi.

The time with you I spend in fear,

as she is there and I am here.

I've waited long and patiently,

but all this time you still can't see.

Your words to me are always soon,

so sad to sing the same old tune.

I feel a love that has no choice,

I need to listen to that voice.

Although no words will tell me how,

my heart again will break right now.

To wait for time to be just right,

no longer seems to be in sight.

I hurt too much with you still there,

to be with both is just not fair.

I know your love for me is real,

but pain from it is all I feel.

The choice in which you've had so long,

has shown to me where you belong.

I've tried so hard to take this pain,

believed so much I could remain;

yet life has only passed me by,

each day from you another lie.

My foolish heart will never mend,

the pain within just needs to end.

Perhaps in time i'll find a way,

to accept the choice you make each day.
