Good Bye To An Old Love

My heart is breaking oh so bad,

Now I am feeling oh so sad,

The things I thought to be,

No longer can I see,

All these memories,

Are killing me.

Was he lying from the start?

Did he mean to break my heart?

I try not to cry,

And hold the tears in my eyes,

But things are breaking free,

I feel as if I am no longer me,

I held this one so dear to me,

But the lies, Now I only see,

How do I stop the pain in me,

To find the strength to make it leave,

Someone new and someone old,

All to be said has not been told,

I loved him first and now its him I do not hold.

It hurts to know he's moving on,

To know I'm not the one,

I've been waiting all these years,

Just to cry these lonely tears,

How do I tell my someone new,

How much I hurt over you,

This is not something I think I can do,

But I must let go of you,

Friends for life, never lovers again,

I didn't think our love would ever end,

But at least I can keep you here,

In my heart, though it's filled with tears.

One last time I will hold your hand.

And promise to always be your friend.

That is where our paths have led us,

Know this, It was love and never lust,

On you go, a new life ahead,

On you go now, to be wed.

When you look back and think of me,

Remember in my heart you'll always be.
