In the depths of my heart, I still yearn
For the love that once burned
Between us like a fiery flame
But now it's nothing but a shameI thought I could move on
With someone new, someone strong
But the truth is, I can't deny
That I still love him, oh how I cryI tried to drown my sorrows
In the arms of another, hoping for tomorrows
Where I wouldn't feel this love so deep
But it's his memory I still keepEvery touch, every kiss
With someone new just feels amiss
It's his touch, his lips I crave
And in my heart, his love I saveI thought I could forget
And let go of this regret
But every moment spent with another
Just makes my heart ache, makes me shudderI thought I could find solace
In someone else's embrace
But it's his love I still chase
And in this new relationship, I feel out of placeI regret every kiss, every touch
With someone who isn't him, it's all too much
I long for the days when he was mine
And I wish I could turn back timeI thought I could move on
But the truth is, I still long
For his love, for his touch
And in this new relationship, I feel like suchA fraud, a liar, a cheater
For pretending that I could move on, that I could defeat
This love that still burns so bright
For him, my heart still takes flightI know I made a mistake
In thinking I could fake
This love I still feel
For him, it's all too realI wish I could turn back time
And undo this mistake of mine
But all I can do now is admit
That in this new relationship, I still feel unfitFor anything, for anyone
For my heart still belongs to him, my only one
I regret every moment spent with another
For in my heart, it's him I discoverThe one true love, the one I can't forget
The one I still love, the one I can't regret
I got into a different relationship to "get over" him
But in the end, it's him I still long for, my love.
